It seems imitation almond extract usually contains: water, alcohol (25%-40%), and a flavoring bitter almonds. A drop can kill someone with a nut allergy. Also, bitter almonds are poisinous in a small quantity due to the cyanide. Although all almonds and other seeds from similar plants (pits of peaches and apricots for example) contain cyanide, the extract has high concentrations of it. It is ok to use a few drops in a batch of dough, but if you are taking sips of this because you want a little buzz, you are in big trouble.
To clarify, NATURAL almond extract contains oil of bitter almonds and enough cyanide to harm you if you drink a lot of it. IMITATION almond extract contains benzaldehyde, the compound in almonds that gives it it's favor and scent, without the cyanide. I like almond-flavored water, and I use imitation almond extract just to be safe.
No

You could use vanilla extract, but the taste would be different. you are bettere off going with almond instead
There are different types of almond flavorings: 'Pure' almond extract is made from the oil of bitter almond and alcohol. 'Natural' almond extract also contains cassia bark essence. Imitation almond extract is made from water, alcohol (32%), and benzaldehyde. If you have a nut allergy, always read the ingredient on the label of the product.
A peach pit!

Yes. Almond Extract, Anise Extract, and Lemon Extract have high alcohol content (60%-80%) You can get drunk off of it, but it will taste horrible. Prepare to be in extreme discomfort after drinking.
Yes, you use the same measurement of almond extract that you would of almond flavoring. (Although sometimes you may find that the flavoring is marginally stronger than the extract, in which case you may want to add slighlty more extract. However it's personal taste, really).

No, almond extract and anise extract taste different from each other.A different answer:Yes, most flavoring extracts can be substituted for each other, as long as the cook realizes the tastes will be completely different. Anise and Almond do not have similar taste or fragrance.
