lol wut?

This socket was designed for first-generation Pentium 4 processors. If you're considering an upgrade then your options are pretty limited.
No. The AM2 socket was designed by AMD in 2006 as a follow up to the popular 939 socket. Intel Processors will not fit into a AM2 Socket.
Dual cpu socket motherboards are for workstations/servers and won't fit in you typical case. Yes it boosts the performance.
CPUs are not normally soldered to motherboards. They plug into a socket that's soldered to the board.
That can either mean a dual-socket machine with dual-core CPUs (two CPUs with two cores each) or a quad-core CPU (one CPU with four cores).
In the Pentium series of CPUs, only Level 1 (L1) cache was manufactured on the CPU die itself. L2 cache (if it was needed or desired) consisted of SRAM chips mounted immediately next to the CPU socket on the motherboard.
Because that's the socket Intel manufactured it for.
It is a CPU, designed for use in socket 7 motherboards. It was designed to be competition to the Intel pentuim/pentuim MMX range of CPUs.
