Vehicle goes to impound yard via wrecker service. You have to pay to get it out the next day.
I doubt that would be considered one in any state
Depends on the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the vehicle. 26,000 lbs. or less, it doesn't require a CDL. 26,001 lbs. or higher requires a Class B CDL. If you're running a Class C wrecker (Class C is a heavy wrecker... wrecker classification and driver license classification are two separate things), then you'd need a Class A CDL.
Depends on what the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating of the wrecker is. If it's over 26,000 lbs, then yes. If it will be over 26,000 lbs. with a vehicle in tow, some states will require you to have one.
