It can be either. It can also be a paste or gel. Liquid formulations are more commonly available. Powdered vanilla extract, though harder to find in stores, is used when trying to avoid increasing the moisture content of the mixture, such as in cake frosting. Powdered vanilla also tends to be whiter and does not discolor white or pale-colored frostings in a way that liquid (brown) vanilla extract does.
it is a mixture
Yes, but it may take more powder to receive the same affect of its liquid cousin. You will want to make sure that the all of the powder dissolves, so add it to the eggs, oil, or butter called for in the recipe. It is also a great hot beverage flavoring.
Extract in "vanilla extract" is simply the liquid extracted from the insides of a vanilla bean.
Vanilla extract can be used in place of vanilla bean paste. The equivalent of 1 tablespoon of paste is 1 tbsp. extract.

Vanilla is found in a seed (of the vanilla orchid) called a vanilla bean. The flavor is extracted from the bean by soaking it in alcohol. The vanilla bean is solid, the flavoring- vanilla extract, is a liquid.

No, you would not use the same amount of vanilla extract as you would vanilla flavoring. Vanilla extract is pure and stronger than vanilla flavoring, so you would probably need two or three times the amount of flavoring as you would for the extract.
Vanilla extract is liquid, so use measuring spoons to measure it, or for large quantities use a measuring cup for liquids. Vanilla powder can be measured with measuring spoons or a measuring cup for solids. Whole bean vanilla doesn't usually need a measuring device, since the recipe will say something like "seeds of 1 whole vanilla bean."
Unless specified otherwise vanilla in a recipe is generally vanilla extract.
No. Vanilla is a flavor. Many things can have a vanilla flavor; shakes are one example. Ice cream is another. It is a common ingredient in baked goods such as cookies. 'Vanilla' often refers to vanilla extract, which is the source of the flavor. It comes from vanilla beans. Vanilla extract is a liquid that you add (in very small amounts) to give something a vanilla flavor.
Vanilla is a flavoring and an aromatic. It comes from the seeds of an orchid. The vanilla beans are the pods of the orchid that hold the seeds. The seeds can be used directly in foods and the pods are often used to flavor foods by steeping them in hot liquid. Vanilla extract often used in baking is made by soaking the beans in an edible alchohol to extract their flavor and then bottling the resulting liquid.
