Because they drastically increase safety. Also, with cars going faster and faster and more collisions caused by the speed and more cars on the road. Extra safety measures were needed.
Because vehicles over a certain size aren't required to have or use seat belts, so it would be a waste to put them on. It is also a safety issue. The color stand out more.
You don't install a newborn car seat. The only thing that you need to do with a newborn car seat is put the car seat in the back of the car and put the seat belts on and lock the seat belts.

Depends, I put new 3 point seat belts in the front of my 69 Westy, the rear seat belts on the rock and roll bed are a bit short for some car seats, but there are aftermarket seat belts available to make it a bit more standard. I would say yes, that's it's perfectly safe as long as the belts are good and fasten in their designed purpose.

I have the same problem in a 2000 Sebring. You can't pull the seat belts out of the seat's retractor. According to the owner's manual the seat belt mechanism needs power on to allow the seat belts to extend. When you open the door or put the key to accessory position power is allowed. The fuse for the seat belts is listed with the flashers and the flashers work ok. I will post more after I fix it. There is a wire connector under the seat that controls the seat belt mechanism. You have to make sure it is connected otherwise the seat belt will remain in the stuck position. I had the same problem, seat belt was stuck and I couldn't use it. I discovered the wire wasn't connected under the seat. Once I reconnected it and turned on the car I was able to pull the seat belt out.
