The word 'kippah' is the Hebrew name for the skullcap worn by Jews. Saying "Jewish kippah" is redundant as a kippah is a Jewish item. Another Jewish name for the kippah is "yarmulka", a word which is used in America and by Yiddish-speakers. The word "yarmulka" goes all the way back to the Aramaic; and it translates to "fear of the King"; because the skullcap's purpose is to remind us of God's presence.
The round beanie cap worn by some Jewish men is called a "kippah" or "yarmulke." It is a small, often circular cap that symbolizes reverence and the acknowledgment of a higher power.

The kippah can be made from various materials and may come in different styles and colors.
Jewish men are commanded to cover their head in respect to God at all times, especially while praying, or at a religious event or service. The main form of head cover is a Kippah, or Yalmukah.

Most Reform, Conservative, and some Modern Orthodox Jews do not wear kippahs at all times, and only wear them while at Temple, or another religious event.
It is unknown. There is no mention in the Torah of Abraham wearing a kippah.
No, it`s not proper for a Gentile to wear a kippah all the time as this is a Jewish tradition that doesn`t apply to non-Jews.
