Food tends to be dead before preparation.
Yes, microwaving can effectively kill salmonella bacteria if the food is heated to a high enough temperature for a sufficient amount of time. It is important to follow proper food safety guidelines when using a microwave to ensure that the food is cooked thoroughly and safely.

Microwaving can effectively kill mold on food, but it may not be as effective on porous surfaces like wood or fabric. It's important to follow proper safety guidelines when attempting to remove mold using a microwave.
It depends.
no not at all!
Microwaving the food conserves much of the thiamin.
Bringing the food to a high enough temperature will kill the bacteria. You can do this by cooking it for a while, frying, roasting or baking. Microwaving food should also kill bacteria but I am not sure whether it is just the microwave radiation that accomplishes this or the food has to become hot enough.
No more or less so than food cooked by any other method.
Microwaving a wet sponge for 2 minutes can help kill some bacteria and germs, but it may not eliminate all of them. It is more effective to regularly replace sponges or clean them by soaking in a bleach solution and allowing them to air dry.
Dampening a paper towel and covering your left overs before microwaving it is better than covering it with plastic wrap. Plastic wrap, when heated releases toxic chemicals and it goes onto the food.
Microwaving food certainly doesn't make it any healthier. The loss of moisture through microwaving the water cells in the food until rupturing results in free radicals, which can be deemed as carcinogenic.
Microwaving coffee is not considered carcinogenic.
