All banks have employees who are notaries. The requirements to become a notary public vary from state to state, but the process is generally simple enough for lenders to make sure they have at least one, if not more than one, employee who is certified as a notary for the convenience of customers. If your bank branch is particularly small and/or isolated, call ahead to find out.
You can find notary publics in a phone book or their online counterparts. Furthermore, all banks should have a notary public on site. There are also establishments such as the UPS Store which offer the services of notary public. Directory assistance services can highlight additional leads in this respect.
Only a notary public can sign. Often Lawyers are also Notary Publics as well.
Not in any country that I am familiar with.
Doctors and notary publics are two separate types of professionals. A doctor that has taken the oath and obtained the necessary knowledge as well as training can be a notary public as well.

No, a magistrate and a notary are two different roles. A magistrate is a judicial officer who presides over court proceedings, while a notary public is a person authorized to perform certain legal formalities such as witnessing signatures and certifying documents.
Legal notary stamps aren't for sale. You can find online sources for obtaining notary services, but most states require an in-person visit to a licensed notary public. If you are already a licensed notary, you should be able to obtain the stamps from an online retailer who specializes in providing supplies for notary publics.

No, notary publics are discriminated against in the states of Wisconsin, Illinois, South Carolina, and Nevada. They can't marry anybody from those states. Google it.
They come in very handy, but banks are not required to have a notary available.
A Notary Public can notarize--find them at banks, in the phone book, ship and mail stores and so on. They are bonded and certified by the state, and it is legal for them to charge for the service.
You stamp it with your little Notary stamp, and then you sign your name under it.
