The nickel has been redesigned a couple times in recent years. Nickels 1938-2004 had a center profile of Jefferson. Those in 2005 had an off-center closeup of the side of his face, and 2006-present have an off-center portrait.
Buffalo nickels were made from 1913 to 1938. Nickels made from 1883 to 1912 are called Liberty nickels, or sometimes V nickels because they had the Roman numeral V (i.e. 5) on the reverse side.
They usually sell for about 10 to 15 cents. Crafty people use them to decorate belts and make domed buttons. Note that these coins are called Buffalo Nickels or Indian Head Nickels, but not "Buffalo Head" nickels. After all, they show the whole buffalo and not just its head! ========================= The mint mark will be located on the back side under the words FIVE CENTS. Nickels minted in Philadelphia do not have a letter, though. Also, nickels minted from 1913 to 1925 had a design flaw that allowed their dates to wear off quickly. Unfortunately these "cull" nickels aren't worth much more than face value. The link below lists prices.

Yes they do.
If you found it in change, it's only worth 5 cents but it makes a great keepsake. Your coin is one of the commemorative nickels minted during the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial. The partial portrait is on ALL 2005 US nickels so it's not a mistake. Hundreds of millions were struck so they're not rare.
It depends on what you mean by height - are the coins stacked or arranged side by side? If they're side by side, the dimension is 6*21.21 mm = 127.26 mm If they're stacked, the dimension is 6*1.95 mm = 11.70 mm
