Kosher salt is free of iodine, and additive-free.

Most salt is kosher by default unless additives such as flavourings are added, at that point the salt would have to be certified kosher. 'Kosher salt' refers to a large grain salt that is used during the process of kashering meat. Iodized salt is kosher.
Yes
Non-iodized flake salt, also sometimes called "cheese salt". Salt in cheese is used both to give flavor and to preserve. Iodized salt has iodine in it which hinders some of the bacteria you want in the cheese. You can use kosher salt or any natural, non-iodized salt that is in a flaked form.
Yes, you can. Kosher salt is the same as table salt, only a larger granule.
Generally it is not, but check the label to be sure.
Yes.
Iodized salt helps prevent goiter and mental retardation. The non-iodized salt helps maintain the color and texture of pickled food and it does not affect the taste of food when cooking.
Iodized salt usually is a form of processed table salt, of which the grains are very fine (about 1/8 of a cubic millimeter each). Kosher salt (iodized or not) is salt that is used for koshering meat. Its grains are considerably larger than those of table salt (though sizes of Kosher salt grains vary).
By default, salt is kosher unless something is added to it to make it not kosher - usually flavourings. Kosher salt may or may not be iodized, you'd have to check the label on the package to be sure.
Sea salt does not have iodine added to it. The only salt that has iodine in it says iodized, such as table salt.
I'm not SO good with salt but iodized salt is better for you than non iodized salt. Iodine has been added to refined table salt for a good many years to counteract the effects of iodine deficient diets. Its absence can cause problems including goiter and stunted growth. Iodized salt, therefore, contains minute traces of iodide or iodate compounds that are easily metabolized by the body. Non-iodized salt does not have these compounds added (although they might be present naturally).
