Yes (and no). For the purpose of "Active Duty" it absolutely does. For the purpose of benefits, it usually does not. Benefits use "Active Service" which 99% of the time stipulates "other than active duty for training". So it depends on what you are specifically asking for.
After 20yrs. of active duty, yes.
Of course. You aren't active duty anymore.
Yes. As an active reserve member you are still under the same contract as active duty. Your most recent discharge is used for benifit information.
as long as you remain on active duty
180 days.
With few special exceptions, no. You would have to complete your Air Force contract first. As for the exceptions, we'd be talking about something like attending and completing BUD/S as an Air Force service member, then transferring to a SEAL team.
you aren't entitled to veteran's benefits through the VA. You could be entitled to benefits directly through the military IF he died on active duty
no
Earning a Purple Heart does not confer any benefits. If wounded, the service member will be provided full medical benefits. If they died they will be given full military honors at their funeral.
whenever you go on active guard, that means Full Time Guard. You are will get all benefits that the active duty component gets. incl Health, Vision, Dental, Housing allowence, Clothing allowence,...etc..
