Visitors, Supervisors, and Community Assistants answer questions. I am a Supervisor.
Contributor badges are earned by simply answering questions, editing answers etc. Supervisor badges are given (by a higher supervisor) when someone is nominated as a category supervisor.
To become a supervisor you have to be nominated by someone that is already a supervisor. Then other supervisors will evaluate your questions, answers, and other actions. You can ask a supervisor to look over your activity and nominate you.
If you find two questions that are asking the same thing, contact a supervisor.
Yes, but I suppose that is because there is a lot of people on this site. Remember you don't have to be a supervisor to edit answers.
When you are being evaluated as a supervisor for a particular category the categories of the questions you have answered typically do not play a factor. Instead, the quality of the answers is what is important.
As a regular member, you can request that the two questions be merged and the supervisor community that handle the merge requests deal with all of them. Regular members cannot merge questions, I'm afraid. However, as a supervisor - we can merge questions to make them one-standing question.

You can be suspended for cyberbullying, vandalizing questions, answers, message boards, community forum, and for ignoring Supervisor warnings.
Generally, you don't become a Supervisor based upon on how many contributions you've made to Answers as far as answering questions, editing questions etc., you become a Supervisor based on your personality as far as how you treat others. You could also become a Supervisor a lot easier if you're in the Special Project Assistants program.
You need to ask at least 3 questions, contribute at least 10 answers or improvements to answers and make 15 assorted edits. See the related links for the help centre on how to become a supervisor.
