Yes, cobalt form many chemical compounds as cobalt nitrate, cobalt chloride, cobalt sulfate, cobalt sulfide, etc.

There are no compounds in Cobalt. It is completely impossible, because Cobalt is an element, and compounds are made up of elements. If this is what you meant to ask, then there a a lot of compounds with Cobalt in them. One example is Cobalt (III) Fluoride, chemical formula CoF3. Any compound with a "Co" (the "C" must be capitalized and the "o" must lowercase) in it contains Cobalt.
No ONLY Iron can form RUST. That does not mean that Cobalt can not oxidize, just that when it does so it can not form RUST.
There is no reason at all why cobalt cannot be combined with more cobalt. It can. Cobalt is a metal. It can be recovered from ore and refined, then melted down with other cobalt pieces to form one large mass of the metal.
elementCobalt is an element, and is a transition metal with atomic number 27.

The roman number III indicates that the ion of cobalt present in this form of cobalt in the cobalt oxide is Co3+. Since cobalt also exists as a Co2+ form, these must be distinguished in some way. The standard is to use roman numerals to denote the charge. Both Cobalt (III) oxide and Cobalt (II) oxide still have the chemical formula of Co3O4.
Yes. It will form cobalt (III) sulfide.
Cobalt itself is not a mineral. Cobalt mixed with arsenic and sulfur make the mineral Cobaltite. It also has iron and nickel mixed in.
Cobalt steel is a form of high-speed steel containing a significant proportion of cobalt. M-35 (5% cobalt) and M-42 (8% cobalt) are common cobalt steel alloys. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_speed_steel
Cobalt and bromine form an ionic bond. Another name for this is electrovalent.
