Any Citizen who resides in Ohio can become a notary. You only have to take the test and be sworn in.
Yes. A Notary Public is verifying that you are who you represent yourself to be. You will be asked for photo ID, and likely to sign the document in front of the Notary. The Notarized document only verifies that it was signed by the person it was supposed to go to. It does not validate terms or legality in any other way.
If the documents are signed in Kentucky. Otherwise you need to find a notary in Ohio.

The authority to notarize is granted by the state. If the documents are signed in West Virginia, the notary can notarize them.
A notary does not "notarize the title" itself, a notary's job is to "notarize the signature" of the person who is signing their signature on the document(s). They are just a State certified 'witness' to the authentication of the signature on the document(s).
Yes, however, it is not a good idea.
No a marriage has to be performed by a pastor who has a marriage license .
Not if they stand to profit from what they're notarizing (e.g., title).
If the owner is a resident of OH and is signing the legal paper in OH, then it makes no difference from what the state the document comes from.
If the notary allowed his stamp to be used, he can have his notary license removed, he can be fined, and, can also receive jail time. However, the transaction that was improperly/illegally notarized MAY still be legal because Ohio law is strange sometimes. Generally, the punishments are monetary and the trouble you get in will be directly related to the costs incurred by the other parties involved. If you helped someone sell a house illegally, you can be held liable for the entire cost of the house plus legal fees for all parties.
A notary is a notary, I don't see why not.
