An "open" heifer is one that is of breeding age, and able to be bred. A "fresh" heifer is one that has recently given birth. A pregnant heifer is, well, pregnant (that's easy). A springing heifer is one who is nearing the end of her pregnancy, within a few weeks of giving birth. "Dry" is not milking and pregnant. "Close" would indicate 240 days pregnant or more.
Note that the term has regional variations on the subtleties of it's meaning; so it's best to use it in the general sense only. For example, in many places "open" just means "not pregnant" and doesn't imply that she's ready to be bred.
Yes. "Barren" is just another word for open, or not pregnant.
That all depends on the age of the heifer. The older the heifer, the heavier she'll be.
Depends on where you are located, the time of year, the breed of the heifer and whether she's a commercial one or a purebred heifer. It also depends on her age (3 to 4 month old heifer or a yearling), or whether she is a replacement female depicted as open or bred. Prices also depend on whether you are buying via private treaty or through the salebarn. So with that I cannot give you an exact amount that a heifer would cost you.
A long bred heifer refers to a pregnant female cow that is nearing the end of its pregnancy. "Long bred" indicates that the heifer has been pregnant for an extended period of time.

A cow that has NEVER had a calf in her lifetime is called a Heifer. A cow that has not had a calf YET is a heavily pregnant or heavy-bred, or a short-bred or long-bred cow. A cow that has not had a calf during a calving season is called a barren cow, an open cow, a cystic cow, a cull cow, a meat/slaughter cow, a poor cow, a free-loader, etc.
Do you mean a heifer because that's a cow.
A heifer is a cow, so "heifer" is a rude slang way of referring to a woman or girl. It usually means that she is large and not very intelligent, like an actual cow.
Yes. "Barren" is just another word for open, or not pregnant.
You could call it a heifer, or a twin heifer if the sibling is also a heifer, or a freemartin if the heifer's sib is a bull calf.
I believe you mean transformed, as a heifer is a cow, and she instead of he. In that case it would be Io, one of Zeus's lovers.
