The Combine are a mysterious bunch, not much is hinted at in the game. The soldiers no doubt work for the Advisors (Shu'ulathoi) but it is unknown who commands the Advisors. There could be some big Avisor boss dude like the Nihilanth from Half Life 1. Or perhaps another species controls them. Lets hope HL2 EP3 tells us more about them (if it is ever released).
Yes, garry's mod will work with portal and you will have all the HL2 stuff.
No, left 4 dead will only work for left 4 dead mods.
If you are running on Windows Vista or higher, please run the program as an administrator. Also, make sure you are launching the game through Steam, nothing else will work! If none of these work, I highly recommend you uninstall, redownload, and reinstall the program through Steam instead of fiddling around with the settings and messing up your whole Steam Engine.
Well for most of them to work you need css, and hl2 dm
in what way?
The more combines you have, the quicker the work will be done, assuming you have the manpower to work the machinery. A salesperson from a tractor company such as johndeere.com would be able to provide you with better detailed information.

As long as you have ANY source game excluding deathmatch, you can play. But please note that you will usually need a lot of source games to see other people's props that come from other source games.
No
No, The Orange Box does not include Garry's Mod (instead it has HL2, HL2 EP 1 and 2, Portal and TF2). I wish it did have Garry's Mod.
Try reinstalling the game, especially TF2 since it is the game containing that file. HL2.exe happens to be the main executable of the game. In other words, it's a necessity.
