Yes, but inbreeding is not a good idea.

Some, but not all. Spotting in cattle is a recessive trait and is kept by breeding spotted with spotted, regardless if a bull is bred to his daughters or a cow is bred to an unrelated bull. See the related link below for more info.
Yes.
No. Twins are determined by the cow herself, not the bull. It's still unclear as to what causes the act of twinning, even in humans.
Hopefully only once. A healthy cow should be able to be settled on only one breeding session to conceive a calf. If there are more than one bull present and she is in heat, she will most likely get bred by more than one bull.
Sheer luck. A cow has to be bred to a bull, and then you wait for around 285 days to see if you get a bull or a heifer from her. It's a 50/50 chance that you'll get a bull or heifer. You can also be sure you're going to get a bull from your cow if you artificially inseminate her with sexed semen. This means that each individual sperm that is given to her has the Y chromosome that will ensure a bull calf is born.

By getting bred by a bull or having an AI tech insert bull semen into her uterus. See the related question below for more information.
No. A Hereford cow will only give birth to a Hereford-Limousin cross calf if bred to a Limousin bull. Only a Limousin cow can give birth to a Limousin calf--IF she's bred to a Limousin bull. Just like a Hereford cow can only give birth to a Hereford calf if bred to a Hereford bull. Otherwise, she too (referring to the Limousin cow) can give birth to Hereford-Limousin-cross calf if bred to a Hereford bull.
Yes.
The act of conception for the purpose of producing offspring. A cow can only conceive if she's bred to a bull, not another cow. See the related question below to find out how it's done.
A cow already exists as is, since it is a female bovine that has already had a calf. But, in the facts of evolution, another bull and a cow had to have mated to produce this "cow."
No. Twins are determined by the cow herself, not the bull. It's still unclear as to what causes the act of twinning, even in humans.
I should hope so! If she's fertile and is bred at the right time and is bred at the right time, then yes.

The embryo is formed when the sperm from a bull attaches itself to the egg or ovum of the cow. The embryo is formed not only from the cow being bred naturally, but also when she is artificially inseminated.
You will get a red calf. Red is a homozygous recessive gene in cattle, so the gene only comes about if a red bull is bred to a red cow producing a red calf.
