A property listing agent lists all the real estate property according to market value for those who want to invest in a real estate property.
Absolutely, although the listing agent will not be in favor of this because they are the seller's agent.
Yes. As long as it sells... at any price, until the listing agreement expires (and then some) they make $. They don't even have to be the selling agent.

You can formally write a letter to your listing agent and request that they release you from you listing agreement. There may be a clause that if you sell your home within a certain time period you may still owe the agent a commission.
Cancel the contract with the listing agent.
The seller should direct the calling agent to the listing agent.
This amount may vary in places, but the total comission is usually 6% of the sale price of the house. There are also other variables involved. For example, let's say there is a listing agent (the real estate agent who listed the property), a selling agent (the real estate agent who sold the property) and the broker under whom both agents work. In this case, the listing agent would get 2% of the total sale price, as would the selling agent and the broker. If the listing agent and selling agent are the same person, they would received 4% comission, and the broker 2% of the sales price. If the broker is also the listing and selling agent, then s/he gets the full 6% comission.
I am a listing agent for OneWest bank in Southern California, how can I assist you?
The total commission amount should be in the listing agreement. If your listing agent has agreed to sell your home for 6% and another agent decides to buy it, your listing agent is responsible for paying that agent's commission out of the 6% commission you have agreed to pay them for procuring a buyer. They are not allowed to unilaterally demand a separate commission for the other agent. If they try to force you to pay extra commission above the original amount you agreed to pay you should contact that agent's broker in charge. If you do not get satisfaction from the broker in charge then contact your state's Real Estate Commission and complain long and loudly.
The listing broker is contracted to the seller, is an agent of the seller and owes fiduciuary responsibility to the seller.
yes
Standard commission in the US is 3% to selling agent, 3% to listing agent. The seller pays the commission.
