Yes. The NEC Does not specify either way.
THHN is a heat resistant thermoplastic insulated conductor, usually a single conductor. Romex is a brand name for a nonmetallic sheathed cable, it has multiple conductors inside, the insulated ones are insulated with THHN insulation.
No, the electrical code requires that any wiring system be attached to an adjacent structure. A specific distance is required between holding points on the conduit or cable depending on the size of the conduit or cable. Home wiring is usually stapled every four feet.
Conduit wiring is synonymous to wires in a pipe.
For underground conduit runs, PVC is by far the better of the two conduit systems.
Assuming 220 volts service 5000/220 = 22.72 Amps. That equates to 10 AWG Romex.
Yes unless there were some overarching electric code reason why conduit was used in lieu of Romex. if in doubt ask an electrician.

Welding is not allowed by the NEC (United States' code).

What kind of wire? If it's a power wire, why is the place wired with conduit? Commercial buildings must put all power wiring in conduit, so if you're planning to run romex in a commercial building, the answer would be "no", it's not permissible. If it's data wire, note that there may be some "crossover" interference if the data wire follows a power wire for very much distance. It's usually not a problem to cross a conduit and tie to it, but it's generally recommended that you not tie data cable to conduit.
UF cable(underground Feeder) Looks like romex, gray jacket. usually approved for direct burial. Check local electrical codes for burial depths, or if conduit is required. if conduit is required use THHN or THHN-2
All conduit shall not have more than 360 degrees for it's length between either a box, cabinet, or conduit body. Couplings count as a continuation of conduit.

You need no conduit on a residential home using Romex wiring with wooden studs. For a 15 amp circuit use 14/2 wire with a 15 amp breaker. This can only be used in bedrooms, living rooms, and dining areas. All other areas of the home require 12/2 wiring with a 20 amp breaker.
No, according to the electrical code the cable has to have a underground rating. That said many home owners do install indoor rated cable in PVC black water pipe and bury it for outdoor installations.
