Attractions between water molecules are called Hydrogen bonds. The higher melting and boiling points of water suggest that water molecules attract each other more that dihydrogen sulfide molecules do. Water molecules attract each other, but these attractions are not as strong as the bonds holding oxygen and hydrogen atoms together withing a molecule.
Yes, but they attract polar molecules more strongly."Hydrophobic" molecules is a misnomer. The nonpolar molecules in question are attracted to water molecules (usually more strongly than they're attracted to each other, even), but they get "shoved out of the way" by polar "hydrophilic" molecules which are even more strongly attracted to water molecules.
adhesion
Water weighs more than gasoline because the particles in water are more dense than those in gasoline. This is because water molecules are highly polar and tend to attract each other. Gasoline molecules are not nearly as polar and do not attract each other.
Water is a polar covalent molecule. The partial charges in the molecule attract other charges, ionic or more partial charges from other covalent molecules and dissolves them. Nonpolar bonded molecules have no partial charges and the water molecules will attract each other thus not attracting the nonpolar and does not dissolve them.
Water molecules attract the opposite poles of other polar molecules through poles present in water itself.

cohesion
A water molecule is polar, which is why it attracts other polar molecules.
Dipole-Dipole Forces of attraction
This is because of its polar nature - water molecules have a strong dipole, therefore, the water molecules attract each other more than most other molecules do.
Hydrophobic molecules avoid water. Strictly speaking, they do not attract water, and therefore water will avoid them, since it is more attracted to other molecules or to itself.

Water is a polar molecule and thus when a glass tube or any other tube with polar molecules is placed in water, the water molecules will attract the sides of the tube and overcome gravity. The property of water to attract the sides of the tube is called adhesion and the reason water isn't only on the sides but in the middle too is because of cohesion. Cohesion is water's ability to attract and hydrogen bond with itself so the water molecules on the sides of the tube attract other water molecules creating a network that reaches all the way across the tube.
water molecules are polar (there is an unequal charge around the molecule) The oxygen end of the water molecule is negatively charged and the hydrogen ends of the water molecule is positively charged. thus, the oxygen will attract positive atoms and the hydrogens will attact negative atoms
adhesion
yes
