Yes. They main difference between cream cheese spread and cream cheese is that the spread may have been aerated, to enhance spreadability. This makes no difference when you're following a recipe with weight-based measurements (since air weighs very little), but if you're following a recipe with volume-based measurements (e.g cups), you should compact the cream cheese spread as much as possible.

Cream cheese spread is usually whipped and flavored. If your recipe calls for cream cheese the texture, flavor, and volume won't be the same with cream cheese spread. If it's only used as a flavoring in the recipe or to add creaminess, it may work just fine.

No, the cream cheese spread is usually whipped and has a lot of air incorporated into it. If you used it in the cheese cake batter, it would deflate and you'd end up with less batter than you need. Regular or low fat cream cheese can be used but not the whipped variety.

Depends what you mean by cheese spread. If you are talking about cheese whiz or any form of processed cheeses, then NO. Cheese cake is made with cream cheese because it needs to be able to form into a solid "cake" like texture. Cheese spread cannot harden unless it dries out.
