Razor Sharp end point which is between pH 8 and 9 so almost perfectly neutral too.
Phenolphthalein is an acid base indicator - it does not show the end-point in a thiosulfate type titration. Starch gives a very sharp end-point from a blue-black to colorless end-point when titrating iodine with thiosulfate. Phenolphthalein would just not detect this change.
Because Phenolphthalein changes color from a pH of 8-10. Orange IV would be a better indicator since it changes color around a pH of 2-3.
The colorless solution change to a pink solution (at the pH mentioned).

If phenolphthalein is added to a solution of salts, it will not undergo any specific reaction. Phenolphthalein is used as an indicator in acid-base titrations, where it changes color depending on the pH of the solution. Since salts do not have acidic or basic properties, phenolphthalein will not exhibit any color change.

Yes. Phenolphthalein can be used as an indicator for the titration of a weak acid (oxalic acid) against strong base (sodium hydroxide).

The indicator is used to measure the end point of titration. Methyl red and phenolphthalein are frequently used indicators in acid-base titration. Potassium permanganate can used as a self indicator in redox titrations where applicable.
It depends on the acid or base used. For strong acid vs. strong base, phenolphthalein can be used as indicator. For strong acid vs. weak base, methyl orange can be used as indicator. For weak acid vs. strong base, phenolphthalein can be used as indicator.
