I don't think you have a Mauser - the flaming cannon ball is a US Ordnance marking, and both the M1903 Springfield and M1917 bear very close resemblance to the Mauser (both share a lot of their lineage with the Mauser). If it's either of these, it would be chambered in .30-06. However, these are not the only rifles to bear that marking. Feel free to send me photos (my email address is in my profile), and I can tell you more from those.
If it is a ww2 mauser, the maker & the date made will be stamped on the top of the breech. it will look something like this bnz 43 for a mauser made in 1943 by maker bnz The caliber is 7.92 mm or sometimes referred to as 8mm mauser model 98 means it was made in 1898 and it shoots a 7.9mm or 8mm round i have one with the serial number 4101 also known as Gew 98
1988.
Impossible to tell from just the serial number.

Impossible to answer without more information, such as caliber and type of action.

You are describing what sound like a Mauser 98 rifle. The caliber can only be truly determined by having a gunsmith make a chamber casting. Most were in caiber 8mm Mauser, but there were different calibers, and at least 2 different bullet diameters. Have it checked by a competent smith. Serial number should be stamped on the receiver.
There are various numbers, including the serial number, proofing marks, and caliber. Most Spanish Mausers were chambered in 7X57.
yes
You will have to contact Mauser
You will have to call Browning with the serial number.
You will need to start by contacting Mauser
Yes....
No way to know the caliber from just the serial number
Serial numbers do not designate calibers. Look on the brrel to ID the caliber.
Can't tell the caliber from just the serial number.
