It depends entirely on what the exact charge was that they were convicted of, and the terms of their sentence.

The category of murder where the offender has no intent to kill is often classified as "involuntary manslaughter." This occurs when a person causes the death of another through reckless or negligent behavior, without the intention to kill. Involuntary manslaughter typically involves actions that are criminally negligent or result from a lack of consideration for the safety of others. The offender may face lesser charges and penalties compared to those with intent to kill.
It depends on the circumstances. It could be no crime, criminal negligence, manslaughter, battery, murder, or a number of other crimes.
Attempted murder charges typically require evidence of intent to kill and a substantial step taken toward that goal. In the case of someone harassing a terminally ill person, if the harassment involves credible threats or actions that demonstrate a clear intent to cause death or serious harm, it could potentially lead to such charges. However, the specifics of each case, including the nature of the harassment and jurisdictional laws, would ultimately determine the appropriateness of attempted murder charges. Legal advice from a qualified attorney would be essential to navigate these complexities.
The person who helps in a murder is often referred to as an "accomplice" or "accessory." An accomplice actively participates in the crime, while an accessory may assist before or after the crime but does not participate in the actual act. Both roles can lead to criminal charges depending on their level of involvement.

The person who attacked and stabbed me in the lung could face charges such as aggravated assault or attempted murder, depending on the circumstances of the attack and the intent behind it. If the attack was premeditated, they might also face charges for attempted homicide. Additionally, they could be charged with assault with a deadly weapon. The specific charges would ultimately depend on the jurisdiction and the details of the incident.
If someone was accused of attempted murder and successfully proved their innocence in a court of law, they would not typically be sitting in prison. If they are still in prison, it could be for other unrelated charges or because of administrative or legal processes that have not yet concluded. It is also possible that there were additional charges or a separate trial that resulted in a guilty verdict.
It depends on the proof and witnesses of murder.

Person A could potentially face criminal charges for providing drugs to person B without their knowledge if it is illegal in their jurisdiction.
