Yes, especially through INTERPOL.
The FBI has access to certain foreign criminal record databases through mutual legal assistance agreements and information-sharing partnerships with other countries' law enforcement agencies. However, the extent of this access can vary depending on the specific agreements and relationships in place with each country.

There are no publicly accessible websites or databases that release this infomation.
Yes and no. Some states lack the funding to maintain statewide databases of convicted offenders and records may not appear for as much as decades. In other States, your criminal record gets sent to the FBI and US Marshall Service to be placed in the state wide databases. Same applies with DNA taken.
If you were a US citizen and were charged with an offense in a foreign country, INTERPOL would no doubt have a record of it. Whether or not that INTERPOL record would then appear on your domestic US record, I don't know.
(in the US) Unless your offense was committed prior to your 18th birthday, you will always have a criminal record - it does not "go away" after a certain number of years. ----------------------------- This actually depends on the country you receive the criminal record in. For example, in Canada a criminal record stays on RCMP databases until you reach the age of 80 and have remained crime free for the last 10 years (with some exceptions). If an individual still has an outstanding warrant, is subject to life imprisonment, is a dangerous offender, or is still subject to a prohibition order that has not expired, they must wait an additional 10 years, or reach the age of 100 before the RCMP will remove the criminal record.
from the court where you were convicted, by looking up your case number.
Depends entirely on what you are looking to record. For basic data such as counts, times, etc. I personally like using excel, but for more complicated and interrelated data a strong knowledge of access or even the use of various online databases (SQL databases) can be very helpful.
The visas are checked by the embassy therefore based on criminal record the embassy could either decline or approve visas.
Mobile apps use databases for much the same reasons desktop and web applications do. Databases allow you to store data in a secure place so you can access it later. However, apps cannot directly use external databases to store this data.
The federal government would check things like your driver's record and criminal databases. They may talk to your neighbors and previous employers as well.
The "official" history of your criminal record never goes away. The expunction simply means that the PUBLIC does not have access to it.
Yes, all this information is routinely shared between the states.
