by a form of generation or generators
Yes, a simple machine can create friction, and friction can create heat. You are converting mechanical energy to thermal energy.
The missing energy is converted into some form of unusable energy. It may be heat (thermal energy), but it may be other types of energy as well.
Thermal energy can be used to do work. Temperature cannot be used to do work. Thermal energy is actually heat energy in transit.
Thermodynamics is the study of the relationship between thermal energy and heat and work.
YesIt is true that solar energy can be changed into thermal energy without any work being done. The solar energy is thermal energy from the sun.

what is thermal energy converted into work called
The missing energy is converted into some form of unusable energy. It may be heat (thermal energy), but it may be other types of energy as well.
Thermal energy is what is practically the ONLY source of energy for any work. Thermal energy cools, heats, runs motors, etc.
Thermal energy can be used to do work. Temperature cannot be used to do work. Thermal energy is actually heat energy in transit.

YesIt is true that solar energy can be changed into thermal energy without any work being done. The solar energy is thermal energy from the sun.
Waste thermal energy refers to thermal energy caused by friction. It usually a waste product that results when energy changes form or performs work.
Yes
Usually the "thermal energy" will increase since work ON the system adds energy. Thermal energy is really not the best term though. A much better term in thermodynamics would be ENTHALPY.
