No. While some states may expressly allow a vehicle to be operated on private property without a CDL (although it does put them in conflict with the FMCSR), you absolutely cannot legally operate a tractor trailer or commercial straight truck on public property and roadways without possessing the appropriate class of licence for that vehicle. Now, if that tractor trailer is a registered farm vehicle, rather than a commercial vehicle, the story will be a bit different, and different states have different regulations on that.

No, they are belt driven. That's how they operate.
Depends on what type of tractor and trailer you had in mind. For a farm tractor pulling a trailer, it's usually a pintle on the tractor which is run through a clevice on the trailer. For road going vehicles, the fifth wheel trailers are often used, where a trailer kingpin will be inserted and locked into a fifth wheel on the vehicle. In the case of an 18 wheeler, air lines will connect from the tractor to the trailer to operate the trailer's air brake system.
Pretty much, yes. While the law won't come onto the private property to hound you for driving it on that property without a CDL, the vehicle's insurer won't act on any claim filed due to an accident involving an unlicenced driver.
Any motel that says "Truck Parking" offers tractor-trailer parking. Whether a property allows you to park your truck there is totally up to the management of that property--some Ramadas, say, allow it while others don't.
The tractor weighs 20,000 pounds, the trailer weighs whatever it weighs, and the maximum weight of a loaded tractor trailer with one trailer is 80,000 pounds.
tractor trailer
I would have to say no. I have a tractor that is insured the only thing that is insured is just that the tractor (fire theft etc). Although You can get your trailer insured just as you can an ATV horse trailer car truck if you had a policy for it. your tractor insurance will not help with the trailer.
