Condesation will occur when the temperature of the air equals the dew point temperature (which is just another way to measure the amount of moisture that's present in the air) of that same air OR, another way to say the same thing, when the relaitive humidity is 100%.

Water also needs something to condense onto...like a piece of dust or dirt or a some other type of surface (like the mirror in your bathroom). In the abscene of these types of nuclei, it may take relative humidities of slightly great than 100% (like up to or less than 105%) to get water to condense out of the atmosphere. It is very, very rare that there isn't some form of nuclei in the air though.

That depends up on the amount of Kinetic energy that the gas possesses, or how hot or cold that it is.

There is oxygen surrounding you now. Whatever temperature it is where you are, that's the temperature of that gas.

It depends on the gas. Steam is a gas and condenses to water at 100 degrees centigrade. Nitrogen condenses at -195.79 degs cent. Chlorine condenses at -34.04 degs cent. So take your pick.

No, condensation is water in liquid form that formed from water vapor, a gas.
