Either a formal gown or a cocktail dress.
Women's black tie must not always be a long gown; indeed, several fashion authorities consider a "short, dressy cocktail dress" acceptable. http://www.blacktieguide.com/Supplemental/Ladies.htm
An event that requires formal attire. A tuxedo or black suit and tie for men and formal or cocktail dress for women
No, it is not. A black tie event insinuates that tuxedos or very nice suits are the proper attire for the occasion. So men should be expected to dress like that, and women shouldn't wear short skirts or sleeveless dresses.
No. While men wear tuxedos--well-dressed men wear a black bow tie--women have more latitude. However, black is a popular color for women's evening-wear, given its simplicity and formality.
The types of dress clothing that are appropriate for a black tie event are usually a black tux for men with vest and or cumberbun and for a women a floor length gown that is somewhat fancy.
YES! it should be a 15!

absolutely, a white tie event only refers to the men, it means very formal and consists of a tuxedo with tails.
Men should always take their hats off. Women may keep them on at an event, but it would rather silly, so off it should come. If at church women can leave their fur hat on.
white
If 'black and white' is specific on the invitation then that is just what it means. Do not wear another color.
No!! There is no reason that a person date one type of person. A person should date anyone they are attracted to.
