A:A moral absolutist like St Augustine would say that one should never commit a sin, even to prevent a much greater wrong. Lying is a sin, so it is not permissible to lie in order to prevent a rape or murder. Over time, Augustine himself found moral absolutism a difficult position to maintain.

Most of the governments in mainland Europe (and much of the rest of the world) were absolutist, so it is hard to say which was the "most absolutist". It would be like asking which type of cheesecake was the "cheesecake-iest". France was certainly the standard-bearer of absolutism during the Reign of Louis XIV in the 17th century, but the Prussian, Austrian, Russian, and Ottoman governments were no less absolutist than was France.

Depends how moral you are talking about. Completely moral would be post-marital sex. Others would say as long as ou love/care about the person. This is a complete matter of opinion.
"Absolutism" is the idea that something is right or wrong without reference to any standard, even if it promotes something that would be considered good or bad. For instance an absolutist might say that stealing is wrong even if one steals food to feed one's family. Very few people understand what "moral" means. When two or more people live in the same area they have to adopt some rules about who does what to whom. Any such rule is called a more, pronounced "mor-ay". The adjective form is moral, and the habit of following mores is morality. Mores do not have to be right, only accepted. Another group on the other side of the river might have very different mores. A person who has not traveled tends to assume that his local customs are laws of the universe, and differing morals are associated with differing religions. Morals have no connection with religion. For example, many or most people think illicit sex should be punished by death, laws prescribe jail time, and the bible commands banishment.
I would say that it overlaps but one can be moral without religion.
That would depend on your own moral and ethical grounds. Personally i would say no.
This being a subjective concept I would say natural moral law :)
I am not sure that the book or the movie has a "moral", but I would say the theme is obviously good v. evil, and that good triumphs.
