If by 'head node' you simply mean the first node, then yes; but if 'head node' means the special element which is not supposed to ever be deleted (aka sentinel node), then no.
You copy a singly linked list into a doubly linked list by iterating over the singly linked list and, for each element, calling the doubly linked list insert function.
If you are using the doubly-linked list from the STL library, then the function call:name_of_list.push_back();should delete the last element.
Yes, each node in a doubly linked list contain a link to the previous as well as the next node. That is the definition of the doubly linked list.
examples:- delete this node (identified by a pointer)- insert a new node before this node- replace this node with another node
When inserting or extracting at the end of a singly-linked list or at the beginning or end of a doubly-linked list, the complexity is constant time. Inserting or extracting in the middle of a list has linear complexity, with best case O(1) when the insertion or extraction point is already known in advance and a worst case of O(n) when it is not.

A doubly linked list allows traversal in both directions (forward and backward) by having each node point to both its next and previous nodes. A circular linked list is a type of linked list where the last node points back to the first node, forming a circular structure. This allows continuous traversal through the elements without a definitive end.
Yes. The tail node's next node is the head node, while the head node's previous node is the tail node.
singly linked list stores only the address of next node while doubly linked list stores the address of previous node and next node and hence it is called doubly linked list. In singly linked list only forward traversing is possible while in doubly linked list forward and backward traversal is possible.

In a doubly linked list, you can iterate backwards as easily as forwards, as each element contains links to both the prior and the following element. You can also insert or delete an element without needing to iterate and remember the prior element's link. This comes at a cost. You are adding storage to each element for the second link, and you are adding processing overhead to the insert and delete operation. You have to determine the tradeoff.
