I'm still working on this one myself. Bile functions as a biological detergent that emulsifies and solubilizes lipids, thereby playing an essential role in fat digestion. This detergent property of bile also confers potent antimicrobial activity, primarily through the dissolution of bacterial membranes. Bile salts are bile acids that have been conjugated to glycine or taurine. Bile breaks down fat into a more soluble form for digestion. Cell membranes of bacteria are made of phospholipid bilayers (lipids make up fats) which can be compromised by the bile (therefore the protection given by the cell membrane is lost and the cell can easily lyse, lose its contents). Also, as the bile salt breaks down to acid form, this could also be harmful to some bacteria. There may be more, but that's how I understand it, so far.
Yes, because the bile salts emulsify the lipids increasing their contact with the lipase.
Bile contain many types of salts, generally sodium salts of steroid acids. See the link below.

Bile is not a chemical, it is bile salts.
No, bile salts emulsify lipids to aid in their digestion.
The answer is bile salts. You have sodium taurocholate and sodium glaucocholate as bile salts. They do emulsification of the fat. That helps in fat digestion.

If you think too much bile salts appear in the urine, if you're an a s s h o l e, then probably no bile salts will be there
No, but phospholipids are found in bile (along with bile salts, water, cholesterol, bilirubin, and a small amount of other solutes)
