The first federally-issued $5 bills were printed in 1861 as "demand notes" to help finance the Civil War.
The first $5 bills printed as regular-series currency appeared a year later. They were issued as United States Notes, a form of currency that was issued up till the end of the 1960s.
The first federally-issued $2 bills were printed in 1862. They were issued as United States Notes, a now-obsolete form of currency.

The US Mint could never have stopped making $2 bills because it never started. The Mint only makes coins. All paper money is produced by the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. In any case $2 bills have never been discontinued. See the question "When did the US stop printing 2 dollar bills?" for more information.
Three dollar bills exist but they were never issued by the US government, although the US issued a three dollar coin from 1854 to 1889. Earlier, some colonies printed three dollar bills. When banks were allowed to print money in the early days of the US, some printed legitimate, legal three dollar bills. The Confederacy also produced three dollar bills.
No. US one dollar bills were not made in 1950.
The Mint has never made $2 bills. The Mint strikes coins. The Bureau of Engraving and Printing makes bills, and it is a separate part of the Treasury Department. The first $2 bills at the national level were U.S. Notes issued in 1862. Private banks may have issued their own at an earlier date, however.
Older dollar bills are indeed still in circulation. US bills aren't removed from circulation until they wear out.
1794 was the first Federal issue silver coin, a Dollar.
Only VERY indirectly, because the "paper" used for printing US bills is a mixture of cotton and linen. Because those are plants, they had chlorophyll when alive.
