There are many regulations regarding inheritence tax. You'll need to talk to your tax attorney or accountant.
To answer your question, the taxes you pay on the money you earn (salary, income) is called income tax.
Yes, IRA distributions are taxable. You do not pay tax while the money is in the account, but you pay tax when you withdraw the money.
you pay from your job money
If you inherit something of value -- instead of earning it through work -- you pay no tax unless the value of what you inherit is greater than $5 million. In 2013, the amount you can inherit tax-free goes down to a "mere" $1 million. In other words, if you earn money by working for it, you pay income tax. If you inherit the money, you pay pretty much nothing unless the amount is truly huge. To some politicians, this difference in tax rates is called a "flat" tax. Others propose that those who get their money, not by working for it, but by inheriting it, should pay no tax at all -- which these people also insist is a "flat" tax rate.

No. They may have to pay gift tax. See discussions under that topic.
You won't believe this until you check with someone and verity it. If your mother gives you a gift of more than $13,000, your mother owes gift tax on the amount over $13,000, not you. You do not even claim it as income. See link
This may not apply to Virginia, but you generally do not have to pay tax on money you inherit. The tax has already been paid by the estate. Thus, the Federal Government took its share from the estate and then the state took its share from the estate and what little is left is yours to keep. No additional tax is generally due.
