If it cycles off and on too often, it may not provide enough dehumidification. It takes awhile for the evaporator coils inside to get cool, which is when they provide adequate dehumidification.
That depends on a number of things including: how hot is it outside, inside, is it functioning properly, is it sized properly?
Your air conditioner should have a built in thermostat and cycle as necessary. The air conditioner takes a little while to reach peak efficiency. Once the room is cooled it will cycle on and off as necessary. If you manually cycle the air conditioner, you are greatly reducing its efficiency.
A reverse cycle air conditioner work like normal air conditioners only in reverse, transferring heat into a house instead of outside of one. It is not an air conditioner at all, but a heater.

Often when a vehicle air conditioner gets loud, the problem is due to a belt. You should take the car in to have the belt checked.
A smell coming from a reverse cycle air conditioner may be a signal that the filter needs to be cleaned. A smell like engine exhaust might be present if the air conditioner motor is in need of repair.
Hard to give an answer with no info. What vehicle? year, make, model? What position is the heater control in when a/c cycling occurs? Usually, if you are using your defrost cycle, the air conditioner runs in order to dry the air. In some newer cars, the a/c will run in most settings of the heater control to dry the air and make heating/cooling of the interior more efficient. Hope this helps.
As often as its needed to get the room set to your set tempature.
The amount of time you run the air conditioner depends on how often you should change the filter. Generally you should change the filter at least once every 5-6 months of use.
The equipment might have circuits which remain energised when it is in an off-cycle, but the energy used would probably be less than 1% of the energy used in the on-cycle.
Never! If it's low on refrigerant it has leaked.
