There were no historical re-strikes of the 1880 Morgan dollar (as in, dollars dated 1880 that were made in, say, 1882), however the basic design of the Morgan dollar remained constant from 1878-1921 when it was discontinued in favour of the Peace Dollar. However, as with all historical coins there is the possibility of counterfeits, though, the 1880 Morgan dollar would be unlikely to be targeted (it isn't a rare date and most circulated examples trade for close to melt with the exception of the 1880-CC issue which is a bit higher but by no means an incredibly expensive coin) and most (modern) counterfeit coins would be off-metal strikes because of this (as in, the coin is struck in lead, white-metal or is silver-plated copper) and would be easy to identify.

No. Silver dollars were not struck from 1905 to 1920 inclusive, because they were not needed in circulation.

Yes. That term refers to all dollars minted from 1878 to 1904, and those minted in the first 11 months of 1921. The name comes from the coin's designer, George T. Morgan.

A 1908 Barber quarter is 90% silver and 10% copper. No quarters or any other U.S. coins made for general circulation have minted in pure silver.
