To some degree, yes - the type of cases and the hours of work can fluctuate depending upon the season. This is more obvious in large animal and equine work, where there are definitive breeding seasons and calving/foaling seasons.
Both - some veterinarians work in a clinic (inside) while other veterinarians have an ambulatory clinic and work on the farm (outside).
Yes, veterinarians often work long and unpredictable hours. Sometimes this is a seasonal fluctuation; for example, large animal veterinarians are often extremely busy in the spring during calving season, but tend to work many less hours in the summer. Sometimes this is due to being on-call for emergency - most clinics that have emergency hours rotate the duty between the veterinarians on staff, and the night you are on call you may work through the night. Sometimes this is just because your last appointments have run late and you can't leave until you get the client out the door.

Yes, some veterinarians do work part time. This has become slightly more popular as the demographics of working veterinarians shifts towards being more heavily female - women veterinarians are more likely to want to work part time and trade a smaller paycheck for more time for family and home. This option is also being used by veterinarians with injuries/illnesses that make it difficult for them to work a full day but they aren't mentally, emotionally, or financially ready to retire yet.
Most veterinarians work in private practice clinics around the world, treating privately owned animals. However, some work in zoos and wildlife parks, others work in the pharmaceutical industry, there are veterinarians in the military and some that work in the government. In many cases, when a veterinarian is not in private practice, their job title does not include "veterinarian", so it can be hard to figure out where the veterinarians are and what they are doing.
Yes, large animal and equine veterinarians work where their patients live (barn, pasture, stable, etc.). Military veterinarians work wherever they are deployed around the world. Some veterinarians work in private industry where they are in research labs. Others work with non-governmental organizations around the world, where they can be literally anywhere doing just about anything that involves animals.
