In plane geometry, the geometry of a flat surface, parallel lines by definition never meet. However in spherical geometry, the geometry of the surface of a sphere (such as the planet Earth) parallel lines meet at the poles.
No. Lines of longitude or meridians are not parallel.
No, parallel lines do not meet at a right angle. In theory, parallel lines never meet. In practice, parallel lines on earth could meet at the North Pole and/or the South Pole. Perpendicular lines meet at a right angle.
You're fishing for "meridians of longitude", but they are not parallel. They all come together and merge in a single point at the north pole and the south pole.
All meridians of longitude converge at the north and south poles.
No. Longitudinal lines run parallel to the Prime Meridian. Latitudinal lines run parallel to the Equator.
Yes. Any two lines of constant latitude that you choose stay the same distance apart everywhere and never meet or cross. That's a big part of the reason that they're often called "parallels" of latitude.
No, the longitudinal lines do not run parallel to the Tropic of Capricorn. Longitudinal lines run north-south from the North Pole to the South Pole, while the Tropic of Capricorn is a specific latitude line that runs parallel to the Equator.
Lines of latitude. Longitude is from Pole to Pole.

lines that run from the north pole to the south pole!
In general, longitudinal lines run in the direction of the length (longer dimension) of a thing. On a globe or map representing Earth or another celestial object, longitudinal lines run north-south, from pole to pole. Because they meet at two points, they are neither parallel nor equidistant.
Magnetic field lines point from the south pole to the north pole of a magnet.
