Strictly speaking, it's probably not a cog, but a sprocket, if it meshes with the chain.

And how to remove it depends on the design, there are a few different to choose from. Might even be that you're looking at something called a freewheel. If that's the case, what you need is the appropriate freewheel puller.

I'll post a link that may be helpful.

No, just a regular socket wrench will allow you to remove the cranks from the bottom bracket. Or an Allen wrench depending on the type of crank bolt.

You will need a special tool to remove the bottom bracket though.

Depends.

Some take a 15 mm open ended wrench, others use an Allen key.

Remember that the left pedal unscrews clockwise.
