Legal notary stamps aren't for sale. You can find online sources for obtaining notary services, but most states require an in-person visit to a licensed notary public. If you are already a licensed notary, you should be able to obtain the stamps from an online retailer who specializes in providing supplies for notary publics.
Stamp style notary seals can be purchased from various places online for anything from $18 - $25. The stamps can be bought for anywhere in the world, the price will differ though.
The appropriate location for the notary stamp is to the side or immediately underneath the notary's signature. The stamp should never be above the signature.
The cost for Notary Stamps varies by state. You can find most stamps for sale for less than $50 Dollars. There are local Notary Supply Stores and Online Retailers of these stamps.

You stamp it with your little Notary stamp, and then you sign your name under it.
A notary stamp does not expire in India. The notarized document may get to an expiry date but the stamp hardly expires.
No, you don't need proof as in identification but some places do ask to see the Notary Bond. If you order the stamp through the company that provides your bond, you shouldn't have to provide anything.
Yes. The signature is indication that the notary performed a notarial act (either an oath or an acknowledgment). The stamp only provides proof that the person is a notary. The stamp does not prove anything other than the notary's commission status.
In many states, a notary stamp is the notary seal. In general, people use "notary seal" as a reference to an embossing/raised seal. However, some states require notaries to use stamps rather than embossers, and in these areas it is common to refer to the stamp as a "notary seal".
The stamp goes next to or near the notary's signature. It should NOT cover any text or signature on the document, including the notary's signature and the stupid "notary seal goes here" statement.
In the U.S., the notary's stamp or seal is affixed next to their signature or immediately underneath their signature, in the appropriate notarial certificate. Notaries can not simply "sign and stamp" without appropriate notary wording already provided on the document.
Nope.
The notary stamp has no affect on the validity of the document. A notary is typically appointed for a period of a few years. No one has to go and get all their documents 're-notarized' to keep them valid.
