A Kimberwicke can be used for any type of riding.
A kimblewick bit has a slight curb action. A snaffle can be plain or jointed but a kimblewick is normally plain.
I'm not that good with bits, but I can tell you that a kimberwick bit is a lot harser than a snaffle and a snaffle is generally referred to as a training bit.
A kimblewick bit features a relatively straight, flat mouthpiece with a slight curve, often made of metal, and typically has two rings on either side for attaching reins. It includes a shank that allows for leverage, making it a combination of a snaffle and a curb bit. The design often incorporates a port in the mouthpiece, which can provide some tongue relief. Overall, its structure allows for varied levels of control depending on the rider's needs.
The person who answered before me, has said the strongest horse bit in the world is a gag, however i don't agree, and would say it is either a Pelham or a Kimberwick. I used to have a very strong pony, she was in a Waterfood before I put her in a Kimblewick, this is a very strong bit with a curb chain, although I didn't want to have her in this strong bit, if she actually didn't need to, so i swapped to a rubber Pelham and she was still too strong, this is very strange, but does, happen, so I would probably (only in my opinion though) say that the Kimberwick, is to me, although I have come across some very strong bits, including Western ones, which are good too but also very harsh. I do go on a bit, but I hope this helps :) Seperate person here, actually i used to have a kimblewick and they're not actually very strong at all until you jag and pull :)
Yes, a western bit can use English rein, I have seen girls at my barn ride like that.
Yes.
Put the eastern and western hemispheres together, and you have every bit of the land on Earth.

undo the two skinny straps by the nose band and put the bit on and then close the straps.
A snaffle bit with a double joint or a bitless bridle could be a good option for your horse during cross country or fast work. These options can provide control while being gentle on the horse's mouth, allowing for more comfort and responsiveness. It's also important to work on developing a softer connection with your horse through training and groundwork exercises to address the leaning and snatching behaviors.
Snaffle for engilsh, tom thumb for western.
A little bit of Europe is in the western hemisphere.
