A food warming tray usually just gets hot enough to keep food that is already warm, warm. A crockpot on the other hand will keep food warm and get hot enough to cook it.
yes it would keep your food warm,they are used worldwide in fast food outlets and caffes to keep cooked food warm.
This is a tough one to answer. It might be OK or it might not. That depends how hot it got on 'warm' and what kind of bacteria were on the food. I have a crockpot that the warm setting is no different from low, but I don't know how your crockpot's settings work. It may also depend on the recipe and how you prepped it. No one can tell you if it is safe. You'll have to make that call yourself.
It depends on the food you want to keep warm. As with all food keeping it warm will eventually affect the quality of the food. Vegetables, meats and the like can be kept warm for many hours without spoiling. You need to keep a watch on food, as it may dry out or get sodden and go mushy. Keep foods covered to help with moisture retention of meats and to prevent the leeching of juiceds onto other foods. All food should be kept at 63C/145F to prevent bacteria growth in food whilst keeping it warm.
Once a crockpot is done cooking, it goes into warming mode. This is when it stays on at just a high enough temperate to keep the food moderately warm. Once the warming period ends, the crockpot powers itself off. Any food in the crockpot will cool off. And it will eventually reach room temperature.
yes you can unfreeze frozen food that has been already cooked and eat it
If you put in warm food it will keep it warm without cooking it further.

No. It is absolutely safe to thaw frozen food with warm water. As long as you make sure that the water you use is clean. If you are unsure, use cooked water to thaw the frozen food.
