Yes, the pie can be frozen because the previously frozen pumpkin was subsequently baked in the pie at temperatures that would kill bacteria.
Pie crusts were originally used only with meat dishes
At some fairs you can find frozen pie on a stick in certain but not all flavors. The most popular being Key lime pie.
The amount it would require to thaw would depend on the temperature the pie was frozen. Most frozen fruit pies can be baked from their frozen state.
Yes, they will spoil if not baked promptly after being defrosted.
Yes, this can certainly happen. In most cases, you will want to freeze your apple pie unbaked, and then bake it from frozen later on to avoid a soggy crust.
Most larger grocery stores in the U.S. carry it. Look in the frozen food section with the pie crusts.

All baked goods have some type of moisture or liquid in them. As the dish gets hot and bakes, the moisture evaporates, producing steam. It is the the steam that also helps baked goods such as pie crusts, cakes, breads, etc. rise, as well as be more tender. If the ingredients are cold, then it produces even more steam, so it is for this reason that I store my flour in the freezer; it helps produce an even more tender product. But this doesn't work well for all baked goods - I only do it when making pie crusts, biscuits and cornbread. Most other baked goods do better when the ingredients are at room temperature.
