R134A, R22A, R404A, R410A and many more
No r404a is not compatible with r409a, r134a and 404a use the same lubricates and are compatible but r409a use a different lub making them incompatible
No, there is retrofitting required.

It's only Freon if it was manufactured by DuPont, but to the important things... Your 89 would have had an R12 system from the factory. You can't use R134a in an R12 system unless you do at least a partial retrofit (evacuate all the R12 and compressor oil, replace the orifice tube, replace the accumulator, replace the hose connections, add PAG oil and R134a).
No
An R12 system must be retrofitted to be made compatible with R-134a.
it depends on the gas you are using. for ex\mple r134a and r22 you charge vapour through the low side and some gases are liquis charge only r404a r409 r407c and others these you charge carefully and slowly as liquid through the low side.
No. It is illegal, will not work properly and R12 Freon is not available for the public to buy anyway.
No. There'll still be residual traces of R22, even if the cylinder is empty, and it won't blend with the R404A. Furthermore, the R22 cylinder will be labeled as such, and it's actually a crime to have such cylinders improperly labeled.
R134a is a refrigerant gas
