The thermodynamic equilibrium is what will occur when all matter collapses down to a black hole level, resulting in a "heat death" when all energy is subsequently sucked into those holes, resulting in a universal temperature of absolute zero, where all atomic movement ceases.
Yes. Dry ice demonstrates equilibrium between solid and gas. Thermodynamics predicts that such an equilibrium should be possible. It also demonstrates that transition from solid to gas need not include a liquid phase in between - again predicted by thermodynamics.
An isolated system tend to equilibrium and entropy cannot decrease.
In a dynamic equilibrium, the rate of loss is equal to the rate of gain. Dynamic equilibrium is applied in thermodynamics for systems involving reversible reactions.
Equilibrium and maximum entropy (for the universe).

Quite simply, that would violate the First Law of Thermodynamics, or the Second Law of Thermodynamics. The pressure difference is caused by the weight of the water above it, and it is an equilibrium situation.
It is the state at which all the three phases i.e.,solid phase,liquid phase and vapor phase are in equilibrium.
Zeroth law of thermodynamics: If two systems are in thermal equilibrium with a third system, they must be in thermal equilibrium with each other. This law helps define the notion of temperature.First law of thermodynamics: Heat is a form of energy.Because energy is conserved, the internal energy of a system changes as heat flows in or out of it. Equivalently, perpetual motion machines of the first kind are impossible.Second law of thermodynamics: The entropy of any closed system not in thermal equilibrium almost always increases.Closed systems spontaneously evolve towards thermal equilibrium -- the state of maximum entropy of the system -- in a process known as "thermalization". Equivalently, perpetual motion machines of the second kind are impossible.Third law of thermodynamics: The entropy of a system approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches zero.The entropy of a system at absolute zero is typically zero, and in all cases is determined only by the number of different ground states it has
