By hand with a hammer and chisel.
yes
The joint doesn't prevent expansion and contraction but it limits the damage caused by thermal stress. It allows room for the concrete ( or steel ) to expand and contract without creating the severe cracks that would form without them.
Because the cement will damage
Limit state design is designed a concrete member for its various damage limit states, concrete sover spalling, steel yielding all the way up to the crushing of the concrete core, with this you can control how you want the concrete member to fail.
The amount of weight a concrete driveway will hold without doing damage would be determined on many factors. For instance, consolidated area of weight..ie.#'s per sq. foot, concrete strenght, amount of reinfocement in concrete, compaction of soil under concrete when placed, thickness of concrete, etc. Most driveways should be able to handle a concrete delivery truck if the drive way doesnt have any abrupt edges that truck must cross and the tires stay a reasonable distance from the edges..Hope this helped..and enjoy the pool if that is your project
Over time, ants can damage concrete. However, if you keep all the cracks in concrete caulked, it will prevent the ants from damaging the concrete.

Yes it will eat through the finish
If I wanted to damage a brick, I would lie it on concrete and smash it numerous times over with a hammer.
YES ( most definately )
Concrete can be damaged by fire, orgonite, aggregate expansion, sea water effects, bacterial corrosion, leaching, physical damage and chemical damage (from carbonation, chlorides, sulfates and distillate water).
Yes, as the barrier will help prevent water from getting to the floor and causing damage. Install the barrier between the subfloor and hardwood flooring.
