The copyright will belong to the firm that payed for it's creation . Creator's Rights is still a legal issue that the courts rarely address . Look how Marvel treated Jack Kirby .
Unless other arrangements have been made (such as a work made for hire agreement), the creator of the work is automatically the copyright holder. Transfer of the physical item does not transfer the rights: if you buy my painting, I am still the copyright holder.
Not necessarily. Pinup modeling refers to photography that is meant to be pinned up on a wall such as calendars and posters. If a model has not appeared in such publications then they are not really considered "pinups." Additionally, there is a specific style that is associated with pinup modeling that includes the 1940s-1960s style (hair, makeup, outfits) that fall under the pinup category. It is a specialized field that not all models meet the requirements for.
Nobody owns the copyright of a single word. Perhaps you mean trademark.

Gil Elvgren is well known for creating those pinup paintings seen in the 1950's. He also worked as an artist for the Coca-Cola company. His pinup paintings have inspired countless tatoos.
That mostly depends on the agreement between the artist and the author, I think. The artist will own the copyright over the artwork unless they give the actual copyright to the author, and vice versa. What you create is originally copyrighted to you automatically, and only you can decide whether to share or give away the copyright to it. So, yeah, it depends on the artist's and author's agreement.
Universal.
That would depend on the terms of the commission contract. If the artwork was done as "work-for-hire" the copyright would reside with the customer. If there is no work-for-hire provision the rights would then belong to the artist.
