I recently tried this. Power surges were ruining a security light over the garage. I thought it was overloading the light sensor which turned the light on at night. So I bypassed the circuit board in the light and put a light switch inside the garage. Most CFL bulbs have the starter built-in, and I thought this was the case on this security light. Not so. The circuit board was also the starter. I had to switch to a regular CFL in lieu of using the extremely bright bulbs (without starters) made for this light.
No, a starter must be used.
No a switch just opens and closes a circuit. A switch can be replaced by a dimmer switch. The dimmer switch will fit in the same enclosure that the switch is removed from.
Unless the switch has a light to indicate the switch is turned on, there is no neutral connection to a single pole switch.
A motor starter usually has an overload heater incorporated into it. A single pole switch does not have that type of protection. There are many brands of fractional motor starter switches. These types of switches are sized by the motors full load amperage. These types are dual purpose being that they can be used as the motors isolation switch and also they can be used as motor protection for the connected motor.
Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.The difference between a double pole switch and a single pole switch is the use of the switch in the installation or equipment. A double pole switch is used when the voltage from two circuits has to be broken. An example of this is a 240 volt supply. A single pole switch is used where there is only a single supply voltage that has to be broken.

single pole switch with sthetic diagram are hard to find these days

Single pole toggle switch.
This is the typical light switch in your home that controls a single light from a single location. Sometimes you might see it described as SPST or single pole single throw.
single pole, single throw.
Yes, If you only hook up two wire it will work as a single pole
A single pole switch interrupts only one wire, which must be the live wire. A double pole switch interrupts both the live and the neutral, so it contains two separate switches operated by the same lever. Current practice is to use single-pole switches, to avoid a fault condition which could leave equipment live while switched off.
yes
