stem cells are useful because in young embryo's stem cells can change into virtually any type of cell in the body. this means that if, in theory, they are given to people who are ill and who's bodies have been damaged in some way, to act a s a kind of repair kit for the body.
sorry i dont know, find a different website

You could get bovine stem cells from a cow. These could be useful if you are trying to study stem cells themselves, however most stem cell research is for the purpose of human medicine. For medical applications bovine stem cells would not be of much use as they are significantly different from human stem cells.
I have done pretty extensive research recently and as far as I am aware, they aren't more useful. In fact, they are destructive; Embryonic Stem Cells are almost completely unusable due to a nasty Tumor causing side affect. They might be more researched due to the high quantity available, but Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells and Adult Stem Cells are the only types of Stem Cells that can be actively used.
Yes and No. The only big difference is the procedures used in harvesting adult stem cells is considered legal and safe. There's no need to kill a human embryo. Adult stem cells can be harvested from cord blood or human bone marrow. But embryonic stem cells are able to make more kinds of cells than adult stem cells.
