Usually not more than two.
yes you can place new shingles over old shingles as long as the first layer of shingles are not curled....you will need 1 1/4 - 1 1/2 roofing nails..and 2 courses is the limit...follow same procedure as first roof installation
Just 2 layers I recommend, because if you add an additional layer the roof will get damage and collapsed.
Yes
With composition shingles, no felt is necessary between shingle layers. When the exposure of the shingles is the same as the old exposure, the bottom edge of the old shingles is used as a guide for the upper edge of the new shingles in placement. This ability to place the shingles would be lost if covered with felt.
As far as I know there is not. The type of roof, way that the shingles were installed, age of the shingles, number of layers of shingles, and many other factors all affect how a roof ages. I would suggest that if you are dealing with your insurance company you contact an engineering firm who specializes in this to conduct a study of your roof.
Normally 33. But some are 25.
