An aircraft can cost anywhere from $10,000 for a old run-down homebuilt, to a few hundred million for a large transport category aircraft, like the Boeing 787.
Aircraft Category is base on size and intended purpose. Aircraft Classification is base number and types of engines and passenger capacity.

A normal aircraft carries only Passengers and their goods. But a transport aircraft transports any large things like animals. Transport aircraft is used in military purposes to transport helicopters, trucks etc...
Yes, many Airbus aircraft are in the category of heavy aircraft.
I dont know if this is the answer you are looking for but the main "types" of aircraft are Commercial Jet Liners and Transport Planes General Aviation Military Aircraft and Special/Other Aircraft Some might argue that water aircraft or seaplanes has it's own category but for the most part these aircraft still fall within the other categories.
Immediately but there is a danger of getting into "bad air". The separation is not controlled in 'minutes' but in distance between the two aircraft. Here are the rules from pilot training:* Category Ilight-weight single-engine propeller driven aircraft * Category IIlight-weight twin-engine aircraft weighing 12,500 pounds or less * Category IIIeverything else including high performance single-engine propeller air-planes, large multi-engine propeller aircraft and all turbine powered aircraft The FAA separation regulations also specify that departing aircraft may not take off from a runway unless: * A landing aircraft has taxied clear of the runway, or * A departing aircraft is airborne and is clear of the departure end of the runway or * A departing aircraft has turned away from the departing runway But the regulations also say that the following aircraft can depart: * If the take-off separation is 3,000 feet and both aircraft are Category I * If a Category II aircraft departs before a Category I aircraft * If a Category II aircraft takes off after a Category I aircraft * If both aircraft are Category II aircraft and the separation distance is 4,500 feet * If either aircraft is a Category III aircraft and the separation distance is 6,000 feet from a virtualskies.arc.nasa.gov tutorial (see link)
Normal, utility, acrobatic.
No, the Galaxy is a heavy transport aircraft.
