Depending on what you mean by "the area code of a call," it's either the area code of the phone you're calling from or the area code of the phone you're ringing. The fact that the call is "collect" (reverse charges) is irrelevant.
Yes.
In the US and Canada, you can make a collect call from a pay phone (or any other phone) by dialing 0 plus the area code and number. (You always have to dial the area code, even if it's the same.) However, you are at the mercy of the owner of the pay phone as to which long distance company they chose, as to what rates will apply to the call. You can override that selection by dialing a 7-digit long distance company code, 101xxxx, for example 1010288 for AT&T, before 0+area+number. You can also place a collect call by dialing just 0 (for short-distance calls) or 00 (for long distance), but the rates will generally be noticeably higher than if you dial the number yourself. Many companies also offer collect calling via a toll-free number (800, 888, 877, 866, or 855). You dial the company's toll-free number and follow the prompts to place a collect call to the number you are trying to reach.
Area code 808 is Hawaii. Area code 301 is in Maryland. Unless you have nationwide long distance included in your calling plan, there will be a charge for that call.

To make a collect call from Japan, you need the complete number you are calling, including the country code. Speak to the Japanese long distance operator and give him or her the number. They will place the call for you.
You end up speaking to somebody from Jamaica, probably, seeing as that is where the 876 area code is for. Like with any phone call, it could be a genuine call or a scam - use your own judgment.
Not unless there is a glitch in the system. Area code 214 is Dallas, Texas; area code 225 is Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
It depends on your long-distance company and calling plan. Area code 203 is in Connecticut, and area code 507 is in Minnesota.
The area code "029" is assigned to the city Cardiff in Wales, UK.
If you are calling a different area code, yes, of course - otherwise how will the system know you are trying to call a number in that area rather than your own?
Its the area code
1+area code+ no.
