Tho only waste products would be Helium and a very small volume of the reactor that had become radioactive from neutron activation.

Nuclear fusion is not a practical source of energy yet, though it may be in the distant future
Sure, you can get a tan from it, since the Sun is a big fusion power reactor. In the near future we will be able to build fusion reactors here on Earth. Google "ITER" to see how it's going. In the meantime I suppose you can say the fusion power is actually solar energy.
No, but experiments with lasers to produce nuclear fusionare being conducted, and this technique may be used sometime in the future in a fusion nuclear reactor.
The next stage of experimental fusion developments is to be ITER, which you can find in Wikipedia. This will be much bigger than previous installations, but still not capable of producing and exporting power, so the goal of having useful fusion power is still way off in the future.

The nuclear fusion is not used now as a source of energy; probable possible in a far future.

Meaningless question as far as nuclear energy
Probably, but it depends on fusion being successful, and it will take another 50 years to find out
Problem on nuclear fusion is upon confinement of reaction in earth atmosphere. Nuclear fusion required very high temperature to initiate the reaction. Sustaining reaction is not easy. It is likely the earliest nuclear fusion will be available commercially by 2050. It is a little far future for the current energy crisis would reach it peak around 2040.
We can develop technology to use energy sources that are readily available, such as solar energy, wind energy, tidal energy, etc.; and perhaps, eventually, nuclear fusion.
Nuclear fusion is not a viable source of energy at this point. The technical difficulties in maintaining confinement are enormous and have not yet been overcome. There are projects ongoing to attempt to resolve the issues, but we are at least 10 to 20 years away from anything, and more probably 50 to 100 years away from commercial use of nuclear fusion.
There is very little similarity between present day power plants which use nuclear fission, and any possible nuclear fusion plant of the future

Nuclear physics is relevant to the average person in the way it affects energy use of humans. These advances include electricity, fission, nuclear power pants, and perhaps cold fusion in the future.
