The combat action badge are worn with "Class A" Army green, blue or white uniform coats. You must wear that uniform when wearing the badge.
No. Army Regulation 670-1 forbids it. They are in the same class of awards.
CIB is worn cetered, 1/8" above ribbons. The other 3 are worn in the exact sequence you mentioned, centered BELOW the ribbons. See 670-1 for a more detailed description.

You wear the Expert Infantry Badge above the Airborne Wings on all Army uniforms. The Expert Infantry Badge is Skill level 1. Airborne Wings are level 4.
Yes, they do, except for the Army Combat Uniform, which does not have epaulets.

Whatever badge/ribbon you are awarded, you rate to wear it, no matter what branch of service you are in.
No, you only wear one Category I badge.
Yes. If you have earned the Combat Action Badge (CAB) you can wear it on your Class A uniform.
No. They would receive a Combat Action Ribbon. If ever they transferred to the Army, then they'd be eligible to wear the CIB or CAB in lieu of their Combat Action Ribbon.
The Combat Action Badge (CAB) is specific to the U.S. Army and is awarded to soldiers who have actively engaged or been engaged by enemy forces in combat. If you switch from the Army to the Air Force, you will not be authorized to wear the CAB unless you have previously earned it during your time in the Army. The Air Force has its own combat-related awards and badges, such as the Air Force Combat Action Medal (CAM).
No, you cannot.
If you rate the CAR you will need to look up the uniform regs for the Army to see whether or not that is transferrable to their equivalent. My suspicion is no, you cannot wear the infantry badge, but I would suspect that you would still be authorized to wear the CAR on your ribbon rack while in uniform. The CAR is not convertable to a CIB or CAB in the Army. You may continue to wear the CAR on your Army uniform. The Navy/Marine Corps allows the conversion the other way because the badge is not authorized for wear on their uniforms. No. There are three requirements for award of a Combat Infantry Badge: Be in the US Army Infantry, or the Special Forces with any MOS except Special Forces Medic. (SF Medics are eligible for the Combat Medical Badge.) You must hold the rank of Colonel or below--generals cannot earn the CIB. Be assigned to a unit at brigade level or below. If you're assigned to Division or Corps headquarters, you can't earn the CIB. While so assigned, participate in combat against the enemy. Now, given that, if you joined the infantry you will get the opportunity to earn the CIB.
According to the current AR 670-1, (Feb 3rd, 2005 w/ Summary of Change) on pg 298, you wear the CAB, (Combat Action Badge) 1/4 inch above your ribbons, centered, or if the lapel covers your badge, you wear the CAB so the left edge is aligned to the left edge of the ribbons.
the badges go above the us. army nametape. the one closest to the nametape will be the air assault badge 1/8 inch apart from the nametape. then above that 1/4 inch apart from the air assault badge will be the combat action badge.the combat action badge is the more important of the two so it is on top. Everything can be found in AR 670-1.
Yes, and we were able to do the same with the BDU/DCU uniforms (once the CAB came into existence). The CAB is a Category 1 badge, whereas the CMB is a Category 2 badge.
On the left breast, 1/4 an inch over the U.S. Army tape.
