To know the difference, you should take a pregnancy test. If you haven't had sex for a while but are skipping periods, and you are over 35, it very well could be perimenopause or full-blown menopause. If you are sexually active, you should take a pregnancy test. It might also be early stages of menopause, but if you are still having ANY periods, there is still the chance of pregnancy.
A woman stops producing eggs at menopause, so no. A woman stops producing eggs during pregnancy too, so if a woman is pregnant they are not in menopause.
During yes, after no.

Only the doctor can tell based on your case but unless you have been through menopause all the way, there is a risk.
Menopause can give you a false positive with all of the hormone changes your body is going through.
If it is several years after menopause, pregnancy is unlikely. However, if you are still going through menopause, taking precautions would be wise.
If you haven't hit menopause and have a period there is a chance of pregnancy.
Menopause is a completely different hormone compared to the pregnancy hormone. You wont get a positive on a pregnancy test during the menopause. The only time your get a positive is when HCG is in your urine and your pregnant. Menopause is not a hormone. Better literacy ("you will get a positive," instead of "your get a positive," "won't, instead of "wont," and "you're pregnant," not "your pregnant") as well as a citation to some medical authority would also help to improve this answer.
No, after menopause you are not making the hormones necessary to support and sustain a pregnancy.
