It depends on the extent of the scanning and the accessibility of the yearbook, but it's very likely to be infringing.
No because names cannot be copyrighted. Depending on the nature of the book it may, (and probably is) a violation of trademark.
To patent a book, you would need to apply for a copyright, not a patent. Copyright protection automatically applies to original works, including books, once they are created and fixed in a tangible form. You can register your copyright with the U.S. Copyright Office to have a public record of your ownership and to protect your rights in case of infringement.
It is not necessary to formally register your work with a Copyright Office for it to be protected.
Always better to ask for permission to whoever holds that copyright. Because book titles are too short to qualify for copyright protection, it would not be infringing. Bear in mind that certain high-value book titles have been registered as trademarks, which could cause some trouble.
Your own tweets, yes. Using others' content would require their permission.
"Out of print" does not equal public domain. A work is safe to use only if the copyright has expired or deliberately been placed in the public domain by the rights holder. Or if the copyright has expired and was not properly renewed.
Unless it would qualify as "fair use" you would have to seek permission from the rights holder or risk copyright infringement.
Nope. My personal favorite infringement case involved quoting 300 words from a 500-page book.
Yes, although if your song follows the storyline of the book too closely, it might be considered a derivative work, which would require a license.
It is fine to title your book exactly or similarly to an existing book. You cannot however copy the content of an existing book. There are thousands of books, songs and films out there which have the same title but different content.
Unless you purchase it from a book seller that has electronic versions, which I'm not sure are available, you can't. The book is still under copyright and any version found online is a violation of international copyright laws.
