True. That, among many other reasons, is why they are considered living.
Bacteria multiplies by binary fission, that is a single cell divides into two.

Yes. Like all other life, they fit the criteria: life must: use energy grow and develop reproduce respond to surroundings
Plants need nitrogen to grow. They are surrounded by nitrogen in the air, but it is not in a form the plants can use. Nitrogen fixing bacteria on the roots of the plant convert (fix) the airborne nitrogen to a form the plants can use to grow.
To grow many types of bacteria and various other microscopic living organisms.

Bacteria will grow in blood but no the growing medium in petri dishes should be clear agar.

Bacteria are usually grown in a shallow glass dish (a Petri dish, although you could use any dish) in a growth medium made of gelatin; you could use Jello. Viruses are trickier, they require living tissue of some sort. For an amateur, it's best to stick to bacteria.
Plants, Animals, and Bacteria
The environment for which bacteria can grow must have the right environmental conditions. In addition, bacteria require nutrients such as nitrogen and minerals to use for metabolism
Agar is a solid form of nutrient for different strains of bacteria. Anyone who needs to grow bacteria for use in their labs or experiments would use agar.
