When merging onto the expressway should you stop on the entrance ramp?

No. Not unless there is a "Meter" with a traffic signal.*
Stopping on the entrance ramp - unless traffic is so congested that forward movement is impossible - is dangerous. Instead, you should be using the entrance ramp to get up to the prevailing speed of the traffic and merge smoothly into the traffic.
*There are a few places where traffic lights have been installed at the top of entrance ramps. In those cases you should obey the law and stop for red lights. But these kind of arrangements are not used in most states - only where the traffic is typically too heavy for the ordinary merging practice.

Is the extra space in front of a large truck needed for other drivers when merging onto a freeway?
You should never merge into the area that makes up a vehicle's safe stopping distance. Trucks need a larger distance than a car to stop, so a larger distance should be left in front of them when merging.
Is there a bridge to Brooklyn from New Jersey?
No, but you can go through Staten Island. You'd take the Bayonne Bridge from Bayonne, New Jersey, into Staten Island. You'll come off the bridge onto the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Expressway. Follow that until the road splits. Take a left onto the Staten Island Expressway. Follow the Staten Island Expressway to the Verrazano Bridge into Brooklyn.

Is it true that when you approach a yield sign while trying to enter or merge onto another road traffic already on the road has the right of way?
Yes, it is true when you approach a yield sign while trying to enter or merge onto another road, the traffic already on that road has the right of way. The cars merging must wait until merging into traffic is safe to do. It is also important that merging cars WAIT for their turn... the first car in line merges in first.

Merging onto the freeway in slow traffic and the semi trailer behind ME hits the rear of your car who is at fault?
Situation dependent. If it was a result of you failing to yield right-of-way (the vehicle already occupying the lane of travel has right-of-way over merging vehicles, always), then you would be.
