This depends on the type of image you're attempting to bring into Illustrator.
For jpg, bmp, gif, and other pixel images, you can use File > Open > filename.jpg and Illustrator will open a new document with that image as the first object on the page.
Or, with Illustrator open (but not maximized) you can grab a file on your desktop and drag it into the illustrator window. If you have a file open, Illustrator will drop the contents of that file onto the artboard as if you copied and pasted it. If you have no illustrator files open, it will create a new illustrator document with that image as the first object on the page. This will also work with PDFs.
Go to File > Place and then navigate to Illustrator file.
You can but first you must convert it to appropriate format for web : .jpeg,png,gif.You can do it from illustrator,photoshop,coreldraw or some image converter

You can't, Photoshop is not a vector based program. You can however take the image into Illustrator (or Corel) and "trace" it. In Illustrator: Go to "Object" in your menu, and look for "live trace". There are lots of adjustments you can make to hopefully make the tracing look like you want, but you may need to redraw the image in Illustrator, with Illustrator tools. Learning to use the pen tool (or bezier tool) is extremely helpfull.
It can be open (line) closed (shape) path or image placed in illustrator. Everything that you have inside document in Illustrator like mentioned open, closed paths or images are actually objects you can manipulate, group, aply effect, arrange and so on.
you cant scan a photo onto adobe illustrator but you have one of two options: 1- placing the image onto the illustrator page as a linked imgae (this means the link/ image must always remain availabe to the file) 2 - embedding the file (this is advisable if you are going to be sending the file through as an illustrator file) TO PLACE: scan the image as you normally do, illustrator has a good tolerance of different image files. then go to FILE -> PLACE -> choose the image from whatever location it is in. If you leave the file as is, you will need to always keep the linked image accessible (as in if you save the ilustrator file on a CD or flash disk you MUST also save the linked image file onto the same place otherwise, the illustrator document willl appear empty and there will be a 'missing link' message.) TO EMBED: follow the same procedure as for placing but then go to WINDOW - > LINKS -> a link window will appear with the name of the linked files in the document - > click on the file you want to embed - > click the upper right corner of the window (there is a little triangular icon) and this will open a short menu - > choose EMBED FILE
