No Thunderstorms often form along cold fronts, but are generally associated with low pressure. However, a cold front is not necessary for thunderstorms to form.
It is a line of thunderstorms that can form along or ahead of a cold front.
Generally cold fronts bring thunderstorms.

Yes. Thunderstorms are more common along cold fronts, but they can occur with warm fronts as well.
Yes. Tornadoes most often are produced by the thunderstorms that form along cold fronts.
Cold fronts are most likely to produce thunderstorms and tornadoes.
Not directly. When a cold air mass plows into a warm air mass it produces a cold front. Thunderstorms can form along cold fronts. Given a few other conditions these thunderstorms can produce tornadoes.
Tornadoes do not necessarily need any sort of front. Tornadoes will most often form along either a cold front or a dry line, but can on occasion form along a warm front. Hurricanes, which are not associated with fronts at all, often produce tornadoes. Air mass thunderstorms can also produce tornadoes on rare occasions.
No. A cold front is weather feature that develops when a large cool air mass pushes into a warmer one. Many thunderstorms in the temperate latitudes develop along or just ahead of cold fronts, but not all. Conversely, many cold fronts, especially in the winter, do not cause thunderstorms.
Generally cold fronts bring thunderstorms.
The warm air mass carries warm moist air. The cold front brings cold, dense air. Because this cold air is denser, as it ploughs through the warm moist air it forces it upwards. This warm moist air being pushed up at speed is what causes cumulonimbus clouds to form along the cold front, and hence thunderstorms.
