That would be an extremely risky move. In all probabilities, the stock of the bankrupt company would get de-listed from the exchange and you may not be able to sell them at all. The chances of the company taken over by someone else and then get the stock re-listed etc are difficult events which may take years.
So if you feel a company is going bankrupt - the wisest move would be to exit your holdings.
Yes and no. You cannot but stock in the "New GM" (the company that just came out of bankruptcy), but you can buy stock in the company that was GM (but why would you want to?).

Normally you can buy stock through a bank if you have an account. If you dont have an account you can try thru a discount broker like Schwab, as long as you have the funds available and can show them you should be able to set up an account and purchase a stock.
your stock will go to 30 dollars!
Stock (equity) can be bought during the original first public issue by a company and by the secondary market (stock market)

The bankruptcy court has not yet decided. The latest proposal is for it to be exchanged for warrants. Warrants sometimes have value. They can be traded for stock if the stock reaches a certain value before the warrants expire. However, a bankruptcy judge must approve all the proposals.

After Chapter 7 bankruptcy has been Discharge can buy a home
No.
A good time to buy United Airlines stock would be right before a big holiday such as Christmas. The stock in United Airlines will likely rise during this time and then can be sold for more after the holidays.
