If you've purchased it already then yes. You can play offline anytime you want.
Not on the same xbox/ps3 no unfortunately.

In order to buy it, you need online. But you can select between online and offline after it is downloaded.
No because you need to connect to there severs to get the info.
There can be up to 8 players at once in a lobby.
no you can not
No, the Xbox version of Minecraft is for Xbox360
First you need to click on play game and click Xbox box live and now you are playing on Internet but if you have no Internet go on offline and two controllers must be on and now to 2nd con click start and now your playing two player :)
I do believe Minecraft for Xbox 369 is in 'alpha' and only has online and offline multiplayer.
you must have a HDMI cord hooked up to your TV to play splitscreen.
