Notary seals are given to notaries and can either be an ink stamp, a sticker, or some form on indentation on paper. Notaries must never lose their seals as they are a government seal.
Generally, notary supplies can be defined as the stationary of notaries. This can include stamps, seals and anything else that goes towards creating a legal document.

No. The whole purpose of the notary is to ensure that the person signing the document is competent and knows what they are signing. That is why a notary can not notarize a document unless the signer is in the physical presence of the notary. If a notary affixes his or her stamp to a document, knowing that the person is incoherent and does not understand the document, the notary is guilty of a felony in most states.
The purpose of getting something notarized is usually to make sure that the person signing a document is the person they say they are. The seal is issued by the state to a specific notary after a background check, so the notary is also identified on the document ... if there's any problem with the document, the notary's records can be checked.

Yes, you can use both a notary stamp and a notary seal on a document, but it's important to understand that they often serve similar purposes. A notary stamp typically contains the notary's information and is used to imprint the document, while a notary seal may be an embossed or raised seal used for added security. However, the requirements can vary by state or jurisdiction, so it's best to check local regulations regarding notarization practices.
In most states, a CPA does not have the authority to notarize documents. Notarization requires a notary public, who is a designated public official. It is important to use a licensed notary public for this purpose.

The jurat is a statement at the end of a sworn document, such as an affidavit, in which the notary states the the person making or signing the document did so on a certain day, under oath and before the notary. It usually reads: "Sworn to and subscribed by me this 16th day of May, 2008." Under that statement the notary signs and places the appropriate seals on the document.
The purpose of the notary is basically positive identification of the parties involved. Contracts do not generally require notarization, but a notarized document may carry more weight in court.
I assume you are referring to embossers ("raised seals") as opposed to stamps. Embossed impressions are traditionally upside down/backwards because the seal press is meant to impress the seal from the left of the page or from the bottom of the page. Since most of the time the notary's signature is placed on the right side of the page, and many notaries place the seal on top of their signature, they must angle the seal press in such a way that the impression is upside down. Since the seal is round it doesn't make any *legal* difference which was it is impressed. There *are* seals that impress from the right side of the page, and they can be made that way upon request. However, most notary seals impress from the left or the bottom, so notaries must affix them backwards in order to place them on top of their signature.
