Almost all white bread has alot of preservatives because there is a bleach in it that makes it white, but all breads will have a little bit of preservatives in them because the wheat in the bread is sprayed with preservatives. You're best off buying organic bread.

Bread, fruit, anything that spoils quickly has preservatives. They have to produce it, ship it, and wait for someone to buy it, while still having a good amount of time before it comes close to spoiling.

If you look on the side of the bag it will tell you all the ingredients, including amounts of salt and sugar.

Not all wheat breads contain artificial preservatives. Salt and sugar are not used in large enough quantities in bread to have a preservative effect. Definitely read the label.

If you purchase unlabeled bread from a local bakery, ask them.

No, you can certainly find a lot of white bread that does have preservatives. Most pre-sliced, bagged breads have preservatives because slicing bread allows it to go stale faster. To counteract this, manufacturers add a lot of preservatives and hydrating agents. If you want your bread preservative free, try making some yourself, buying from a bakery or buying from the bakery section of your grocery store. The bakeries will have bread slicing machines and they can slice your loaf for you before you leave the store (or you can slice as needed when you get home.)

No. Home-baked breads and bakery breads usually don't contain preservatives, and some store-bought bread varieties may not contain preservatives either--read the labels carefully.

Most store-bought bread contains preservatives. Exceptions would be specialty breads that are meant to be eaten within a day or two.
