No, the atomic number is the number of protons that an atom contains. Atomic weight is the number of protons and neutrons.
Atomic weight is not the same as atomic number for any element except hydrogen; this is the only element that has a radioactively stable isotope with no neutrons.
No, the atomic number is the amount of protons it has and the weight is its mass
No, the atomic number is the number of protons and electrons in a given element. The atomic weight is the weighted average of the isotopes in a natural environment.
No, the atomic number is the same number of protons and electrons. To find the neutrons, you subtract the atomic weight by the atomic number. Make sure to round the atomic weight as well.

Not necessarily; the characteristic stated in the question is valid for atoms of equal atomic number, not atomic weight.
No. The atomic weight is the number on the Periodic Table and is a weighted average of the atomic masses.
Mass number: sum of protons and electrons in the nucleus of an isotope. Atomic weight: mass of a chemical element expressed in unified atomic mass units.
The "Atomic number" of an element corresponds to the number of only the protons in the nucleus of its atoms. Add to that the number of neutrons that are also in there, and you have the "Atomic weight".
Two atoms with the same atomic number but different atomic weight are known as isotopes. Isotopes have the same number of protons and electrons, but a different number of neutrons, resulting in different atomic weights. For example, carbon-12 and carbon-14 are isotopes of carbon with the same atomic number (6) but different atomic weights due to a difference in neutron count.
This is the definition of an "isotope".
