I you touch it, and it shocks you, then it was statically charged.
The charge is evenly spread inside and outside
Either one can acquire a static charge.
A neutrally charged object can still be affected by a charged object. If a neutrally charged object is being approached by a negatively charged objects, the electrons within the neutrally charged object will migrate to the other side (as the two negative charges repel), leaving the side closes to the negative object positive. Protons do not move. From there, the protons are attracted to the electrons, therefore moving the 'uncharged' object.
as the distance is increased statically induced charge in the uncharged object reduced to a minimum. Thus coulombic force which is directly proportional to the product of the charges tends to 0.

To be statically charged means that an object has more of one type of particles than another. For example, if an object with more electrons than protons is negatively charged so we say that the object has built up a static charge.
yes
In our atmosphere, about the size of the earth. Perpetual and statically charged.
An insulator Becomes statically charged when rubbed against another insulator

No.

If the object remains ungrounded it will remain charged.
