60 days from the distribution date to avoid the 10% early withdrawl and/or any taxes due if the IRA is a traditional and not a Roth. I would suggest a direct rollover so as to have a paper trail between custodians.
Yes, its called rolling over...its easy to do, may not require "cashing it out" but MUST be done by the ones administering the IRAs. Just speak to the one you want to place it with....they will handle it.
I would need to ask you some questions to give you a great answer but here is a good answer. At age 55 and either retired or very near retirement, preservation of capital is key. When will you need to start pulling the money out of the savings? You would be rolling your 401K into an IRA. I suggest at least one annuity. If you can wait 10 years for some of your money than 6% guaranteed for 10 years would come very close to doubling your money. In the meantime some other shorter IRA's might be wise if you need money sooner and those have guaranteed rates of 3-5 % depending on the duration of time.
You can contribute to both a 401K and an IRA at the same time (same year).
its an IRA with a fixed interest rate for some period of time between six months and three years.

You have 60 days to roll it over into another product without facing any type of tax implications. But to answer you question directly, you can do it the same day if you want.

You can contribute 5,000 to a traditional IRA as of 2009 tax year. If you are over 50 years of age you may contribute 6,000. This is known as a catch up contribution. These numbers is adjusted from time to time to account for inflation but these totals will apply for 2009.

Yes
Roth is the type of IRA. IRA means individual retirement account. A Roth IRA differs from a traditional IRA in that the deposit is not tax deductible for income tax purposes. Also, the gain over time is not taxable when the account matures and the amount is withdrawn for retirement income.
Contributions are not tax deductible but you can put in what you want.
Sure...but you pay tax on them anyway.
