I have read a minimum of 6 inches thick, I am going to go between 6 inches and 8 inches thick myself. Also the class 2 compacted gravel underneath the concrete should be 4 inches thick and firmly compacted.
Thick enough to hold 8 pounds per gallon of water that is above it. Please let me know when you get an actual answer.
It should have about 4" of base, compacted and a 4" slab of crete on top.
Consider wire mesh instead. If rebar is preferred, however, consider a minimum grid of 2' squares.
4 inches to 6 inches
Depends on the size of the patio. Most can be done with only 6"X6" wire mesh.
2" based strictly on the slab thickness. However, it may be governed by form spacing, rebar spacing or rebar clearance to the forms.
No
Rebar detailing is the arrangement of the reinforcing steel in the the concrete structure. it shows the details of the shape, size, number or spacing of bars in any rcc structre. different sections of the structure is taken and the arrangement of the reinforcement is shown in it. the picture below is the detailing of rcc structre
Rebar is used to strengthen concrete because of its strength and flexibility. In order for these rods to work, there must be ample space between the rebar and the edge of the concrete piece.

Concrete & rebar
Rebar locators are used to find exactly where the reinforcing steel is located under concrete in existing materials. They are most often used for renovation or remodeling projects.
Concrete it self may not but most concrete structures .Has rebar in them and that can .
Yes, you can. You should clean the dry concrete with water and a brush first, and you should use a bonding agent (available pretty much anywhere you buy concrete) for optimal adhesion. You may also wish to add reinforcement such as rebar.
Items used to reinforce concrete are wire mesh, rebar, and steel cables.
It depends on how much rebar you're willing to lay down, in earthquake prone areas and structural concrete you'll generally see a lot of rebar, in just normal paver concrete you may not see any. Rebar is used to give concrete flexibility without brittleness so it really depends on the use of the concrete.
