The inter axle differential (also called a power divider) is an integral shaft in the forward axle. That shaft is the input for the forward axle and also the rear axle with a differential separating the input from the output allowing for a difference in speed between the front and rear axle.

A2. What a good observation. Since these people are behind the rear axle of the bus, the lever principle applies, with the fulcrum as the front axle, and the lever extending behind the rear axle - which is applying the force.The increase in travel is the ratio of the length between the people and the front axle, compared to the wheelbase of the vehicle.A1. due to the design of rear shock absorbers of bus which is hard and absorb more jurk keeping the persons sitting in middle comfortable as rear shock absorbers absorb more jurk then according to newtons third law of motion in reaction they will produce more force which a passenger sitting in back can feel.
Only if the rear axle is a drive axle.
Yes
The number can vary with design. For a two axle bus, there would be two tires up front and a pair of dual tires on rear, for a total of six tires. For a three axle bus, it was common to have the third axle be non-powered "idler" wheels that provided weight distribution. The third axle would have two wheels, for a total of eight tires on that design. I believe that there are bus designs that have two powered axles rear, which would provide a total of 10 wheels on the ground. There were even foreign buses that had two axles for steering and weight distribution, which made for an odd looking vehicle. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer; the answer depends on the bus design.

it has no rear axle
Vehicles with front wheel drive have a straight rear axle meaning there is no gear housing in the rear axle. Vehicles that are rear wheel drive have a gear box in the middle of the rear axle to change the rotation of a drive shaft to turn the rear axle. If you look under a full size pick up truck rear axle you will see a large gear box (typically referred to as a pumpkin) in the middle area of the axle. That is the gear box differential.
Rear wheel drive...connects the transmission to the rear end. Transfers power from the motor to the rear axle. Front wheel drive... connects the transmission to each front axle. Usually refered to as CV or drive axle. Same purpose. The drive shaft contains the rod that takes energy from the engine and transmits it to the drive wheels of a car.
