In the USA, most mothers stop breastfeeding at one year. However, in most other countries, and also in The Bible days, mothers would stop breastfeeding their child after four years. This may seem strange, but it is the correct way to form a strong bond with your child, and for the child to grow up healthy and very smart, as breast milk is extremely good for the body.

Breastfeeding doens't affect periods.
Yes
There is no real set age when babies stop breastfeeding. It can be up to the mother, or the baby can ween his/herself. In my personal opinion, I would stop breastfeeding when the baby can eat solid food, and/or drink out of a cup. Or maybe even when he or she can say that they are thirsty. But every mother and baby are different.
It is easiest to stop gradually. Drop one nursing session at a time, over a few weeks. You can use cool compresses for swelling and soreness.
Yes, you will notice that while breastfeeding you will not menstruate. However, don't assume that you can't get pregnant while breastfeeding.
Your baby will stop feeding when it is satisfied.
The best time for breastfeeding moms to quit breastfeeding is a personal choice. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends breastfeeding only for the first six months and then introducing solid foods while continuing to breastfeed until the child reaches the age of one.
If you are breastfeeding your period could possibly not start until after you stop breastfeeding. If you are not breastfeeding some people start right away while others take several months. This is all normal and nothing to worry about, but if you are worrying you should see a doctor. Keep in mind that you can get pregnant after having a baby even if you have not started your period yet.
Stop drinking gas. It will kill you.
Generally, no. The breast that did the most breastfeeding will end up a little bit larger after you stop.
Breastfeeding usually should be continued, because the rate of abscess formation in the infected breast goes up steeply among women who stop breastfeeding during a bout with mastitis.
Cephalosporins may pass into breast milk and may affect nursing babies. Women who are breastfeeding and who need to take this medicine should check with their physicians. They may need to stop breastfeeding until treatment is finished.
