After you seal the concrete (depends on conditions and sealer product) you will typically want to give the sealer 1 day prior to walking on it and 48 hours after application before driving on it. Again depends on type of sealer (ie. epoxy...). concretenetwork.com has a lot of good info as well. Good luck.
You should wait a minimum of 28 days before you seal concrete. If you pour your concrete in summer, than a minimum of 14 days is acceptable. If you seal concrete any quicker, there is a chance moisture will be trapped inside.

Not really. You will need to seal the concrete surface to prevent concrete dust becoming a problem. Also, the carpet makes the floor warmer to walk on, concrete would feel cold to bare feet.
It all depends on what the concrete is used for. If it's a footing or foundation that's in direct contact with, and buried by, surrounding earth, you can use heavy duty (6 mil) poly sheeting, or glop asphalt/tar all over it. If you're talking a sidewalk, driveway, stairs, or some such visible surface with foot or vehicle traffic, you want to use a penetrating sealer---concrete sealer, or Thompson's Water Seal.

Bare concrete is porous and vulnerable to chemical attack and stains. Hence a sealer is used to seal the concrete counter top. The sealer should be applied to the concrete in multiple thin coats versus rather than a thick heavy coat. For additional protection food-safe finishing wax can also be used over the sealer.
Stucco does not require a sealant. You may consider doing a sealant if you are doing stucco concrete to protect from the weather.
Yes

The only sure way is to dig down on the outside and seal it from there. Water will tend to push out anything you use on the inside.
