Yes.
It is night in the hemisphere facing away from the Sun.
No, east and west are directions on the earth.
When the earth rotates and your facing the sun.
In winter, the part of Earth is not facing the Sun so it makes that season we have in North America cold. In summer, that part of Earth is facing the Sun which makes it hot. Spring and Fall are seasons that nearly faces all the Sun.
It was both. As earth was forming out of the accretion disk orbiting the young sun, the part of earth facing the sun was experiencing day, and the opposite part of the earth was experiencing night. It was no different then than it is now.

Yes.
Because the half of the Earth facing the sun is experiencing day and the other half, that's facing away from the sun, is in the dark. The Sun is Earth's source of light and heat. (which is also why night is colder)
The Earth rotates once on its axis every 24hrs. The half of the Earth facing the Sun experiences daylight while the held of the Earth facing away from the Sun is in darkness, aka night. As the Earth is constantly rotating the portions of the Earth that are experiencing daybreak and nightfall are constantly changing.
The Earth rotates on its axis (much like if you took a toothpick and pierced a grape with it, then spun the toothpick around between your index finger and thumb). Whichever side of the Earth is facing the Sun, is the part of the Earth that is experience daytime. The side of the Earth not facing the Sun is the side experiencing nighttime.----
