No. Not unless there is separate compartment attached to the outside area of the humidifier for that purpose.
It is generally not recommended that you put essential oils directly into any household appliance. Even properly diluted, some essential oils--lavender and eucalyptus, for example--have solvent properties and will damage plastic and other surfaces.
The method of extracting an essential oil varies by plant type. Common methods include water or steam distillation and cold pressing.

The essential oils from Citrus fruits are what is called cold-pressed. The oils are contained in spores in the rinds of the fruits. The rinds are run through machines that have spikes to pierce the spores and release the oils.
The simple answer is no. Essential oils, as long as they are 100% pure, are potent plant extracts with no chemical additives. They are for much more than just making a room smell nice. In fact they have been used as medicines for over 6000 years. A "home fragrance" is most likely a chemically derived smell used simply to make the air smell good. I'd recommend using essential oils with a cold air diffuser or humidifier for making your home smell nice.
Yes it can. Any device that puts the molecules into the air can be used such as humidifier, vaporizer, diffuser...etc. Most people don't recommend putting the essential oils into the humidifier or vaporizer because it can clog the filter on the machine, however I do it when a family member is sick and mine still works fine.

Yes. Essential oils are used in a variety of products such as Earl Grey tea, cold medicines, insect repellents, beauty products, etc.
Essential oils consist of oil-soluble volatiles (volatiles being readily-noticed flavors or fragrances of food or flowers). There are two types of essential oils: Distilled oil: Volatiles from the product are stripped away, usually by steam injection, then allowed to recondense, thus forming an oil. Cold-Pressed oil: Essential oil that is derived from a product with no heat or steam applied; pressure or centrifuging is typically used. Cold pressed oils tend to have a "truer" flavor for certain oils that may be easily damaged by heat (e.g., citrus).
Yes but they won't prove to be even a fraction as effective as soaking in them. Salts do not vaporise the way oils do in a humidifier. You are most likely to find your humidifier encrusted with the salts.
Presence of fair amount of essential oils in the cells of a plant provides good adaptation for cold winters as these essential oils do not allow free water inside the cell to freeze.
