Yes, they certainly can, since one of the qualifications for a deacon relates to the character of their wives. Some would go so far as to suggest it is a requirement that they be married, rather than a possibility.
No, a married man can be ordained to any of the Holy Orders with proper permission, but every man ordained takes a vow of chastity. In other words, a married man ordained to the diaconate could not remarry if his wife died. So, no, a man already ordained as a deacon is no longer eligible to be married.
Yes.
Clarification:
Married Catholic men may become deacons. However, unmarried men who become deacons must remain unmarried and married deacons must then become chaste.

A deacon cannot marry a couple, only a priest/bishop/cardinal or pope can perform the Sacrament of marriage.

In most Churches that have the threefold order (deacons, priests and bishops), like the Roman Catholic Church and the Anglican Churches, most deacons are ordained priests after one year being a deacon. However, some elect to remain as permanent deacons as this is where they believe their calling lies. Also, in the Roman Catholic Church married men are allowed to become deacons but are not, as yet, allowed to become priests (although some Catholic priests are now married - such as married Anglican priests who have moved to the Roman Catholic Church)> therefore, for married men the diaconate is the only order open to them and they remain deacons permanently.
The two kinds of deacons (they are not really different "kinds") are transitional and permanent. A transitional deacon is a man who is ordained deacon while on his way to being ordained a priest, a permanent deacon remains a deacon. The later may be married when they are ordained. Neither may marry after ordination.
There were seven men chosen by the early Church as deacons.
38,155 deacons almost all live in Europe and the U.S.
Permanent Deacons. It is the first Holy Order sacrament.
They are not allowed to get married. Only the deacons are allowed to be married.
There is no difference. All married deacons - unless they, converts to Catholicism with permission from the Vatican, are transitional deacons soon to be ordained priests - are permanent deacons, and are thus part of the permanent diaconate. The permanent diaconate is not limited to married people.
