How did some of the panels of the baptistry door appear in the Opera del Duomo?
I suppose you are talking about Florence without saying so. The last set of panels for the Baptistry doors, the Doors of Paradise, are the most valuable ones. They have recently been exchanged for copies and the originals are displayed in the museum "Opera del Duomo", where they are well guarded. An extra bonus is that visitors can watch them at close range there.

What is the purpose of saloon doors?
I was recently wondering the same thing. Everything I've found on the subject has been admittedly speculative, but fairly reasonable. A few people have argued that saloon doors are entirely a Hollywood invention, but most people claim that they were in fact in use in the Old West. One thing the movies don't show, apparently, is that saloons had a normal outer door that was locked after hours. When the saloon was open, the swinging doors accommodated the high traffic, and patrons with their hands full (with saddles and such) could pass in and out without running into each other -- like the interior doors you find in hospitals, or the kitchen doors in a restaurant. The doors were short because glass panes were expensive, and obviously would have broken frequently. Another thing that someone pointed out is that though these doors would not have done much to keep out dust and weather, they did allow smoke to ventilate out, in the bygone days when you could smoke in a bar. Another advantage is that passers-by could hear and be enticed in by the music and merrymaking going on inside, while blocking the view and maintaining some privacy and propriety. Again, none of this is authoritative, but is reasonable speculation.

Ghiberti worked on his first set of doors 1403 - 1424 and the second (La Porta del Paradiso) 1425 - 1452. Since there was a set of doors by Andrea Pisano, finished in 1336, the ones by Ghiberti were the second and the third sets, thus enriching the Baptistry with beautifully sculpted doors in all the doorways.

Yes, during the Italian Renaissance contests were held to determine who would win a specific commission. An example is a competition held to see who would earn the commission to create the east doors of the Baptistry of Florence. Lorenzo Ghiberti (1378-1455) won the competition.

How old was Donatello when he worked for Ghiberti?
Ghiberti started creating his first set of doors for the baptistry in Florence in 1403. We know that during this work (which lasted until 1424) Donatello and quite a few other Florentine artists assisted him. Donatello was born in 1386, so when work on the doors was started, Donatello was 17. It is not known, though, at what point Donatello joined the work force.
