If the recipe calls for coriander seeds, cumin and caraway seeds are good substitutes. If the leaves of coriander is what is required for the recipe, this is also known as cilantro. In this case, fresh parsley can be used as a substitute.
No you can't. Fresh coriander is when you use the leaves and ground coriander uses the seed of the plant. Their flavour is quite different from each other.
They are not equivalent. Ground coriander is the seed whereas fresh coriander is the leaf of the plant. They are different flavors and cannot be substituted.

Coriander is an herb that has two primary forms: leaves and fruit. The leaves are typically sold as an herb called cilantro in the United States and the fruit is typically sold as whole coriander seeds or ground coriander. The flavor of the leaves is very different than the flavor of the fruit and I would not recommend substituting one for the other. Cilantro is typically used in Mexican cuisine and Coriander is typically used in Indian cuisine. It is one of the ingredients in garam masala for example. If you can't find fresh cilantro, you could substitute parsley. The flavor would not be the same but it is a better choice than using ground coriander seeds.
Fresh pepper in a recipe usually refers to freshly ground peppercorns.
One tbsp of fresh coriander would be one teaspoon of dried and vice-versa. That is a three to one ratio. This formula works for all herbs. Just remember 1tbsp fresh = 1 tsp. dried. Packaged dried herbs are stronger than fresh herbs, but lose their potency as they age. If the container is new then use a bit more sparingly. Fresh herbs are the way to go to get the best results.
My recipe calls for fresh, chopped ginger, Can I use ground ginger & in what proportion. The recipe calls for 2 tsp. fresh chopped ginger?
You can replace coriander with cilantro, which is the leafy form of the seed, coriander. This is not an exact match, and the flavor/scent of cilantro is stronger than coriander, so be very careful. I'd replace 1tsp of dried coriander with 1/2tsp of dried cilantro or 1Tbsp of fresh, minced cilantro.Cumin might make a reasonable replacement. Depends whether you need ground or fresh.
Not if you want it to taste the same! The leaf of the same plant is cilantro.
My recipe calls for fresh, chopped ginger, Can I use ground ginger & in what proportion. The recipe calls for 2 tsp. fresh chopped ginger?
Use 1/3 or 1/2 of the fresh amount. So, if the recipe calls for 1 teaspoon fresh cilantro, you use 1/3 or 1/2 teaspoon of dried.
