It all depends how good a ball striker you are. If you are a poor ball striker these irons would be a big no no. But if you hit the ball well you could consider them. You should go get custom fit and see which irons are best for you.
Only if it is a nine hole course, not if you play the same nine holes of an eighteen hole course twice.
No, not really. This is because you will need a handicap so they can see how many shots you get on certain holes and therefore how many points you make. If it is an unofficial competition you may be able to play in it, so check before hand. But if it is an official competition, it is unlikely you will be able to play.

It depends which hole you're playing. I think you have the handicap idea mixed up. When you give the strokes, you don't just take them off the top, you take them off the 5 hardest holes on the course. So if your playoff includes any of the 5 hardest holes, then you will get one stroke per each of those holes. If not, then you're playing straight up.
HandicapYour handicap would be 8 No, it definitely would not be an 8. First of all, yes, you can extrapolate a standard handicap from play on an executive course. The formula for calculating an exact handicap is a bit complicated, involving both the rating and slope of the courses played. However, in the case cited, the golfer is 16 over par for 9 holes. The computed handicap would be closer to 30-32.
No you won't. Moreover, your handicap will increase if you practice or play regularly.
The holes of a golf course are ranked in order of their difficulty, 1-18. In the UK and Europe this system is called the stroke index and in the States I believe they are called the handicap holes. Your opponent must give you a shot on the holes ranked 1-15, so you don't receive a shot on the holes ranked 16-18.
Monday Qualifiers is a name given to pre tour event qualifiers staged for players who have otherwise not been selected to play. The top four finishers are awarded a ticket to play the main event. You have to be a Pro (handicap 0) or an amateur (handicap 2.0 or less) to play in a Monday qualifier.
The maximum allowed handicap is 28 for men, and 36 for ladies, so they'd have to play off either of those.
According to the USGA, 16% of golfers (who maintain a handicap) play to an 8 or better. Currently, I'm an 8.
Normally you would play stableford against your personal par, so you would alter par according to your handicap. So if you had a 25 handicap you would add 1 to par on the 11 easiest holes and add 2 on the 7 hardest holes.So a double bogey on the #1 handicap hole would score like a par and score two points, a par on the #18 handicap hole would score like a birdie and score three points, while a triple bogey on the same hole would score like a double and score zero.See Rule 32.
You will be disqualified for handing in a card with the wrong handicap. That is what the rules dictate should happen, if you are given a card with the wrong handicap on it, you should change it.
