The answer is - as with most things in warfare - "It Depends." Specifically targeting civilians for aerial bombing is now considered illegal. During WW2, however, both sides considered it a legitimate action, as a valid method to attack enemy public morale and to hurt enemy war production. In modern times, it is legal to bomb civilians, if they are next to military targets, and the attacker is not intentionally targeting the civilians. In general, reasonable (in military terms) mistakes which result in bombing civilians is also legal. Regardless of the "legality" of aerial bombings, there is a significant negative Propaganda effect that striking civilians has.
Around 60 million people were killed on all sides during World War 2. Most of them were innocent civilians.

No. Drop bombs where largely used by both sides at the front during WWI. The first actual bombings of cities to demoralize civilians and in general the enemy occurred in Abyssinia by the Italians but particularly during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) by both Germans and Italians, followed immediately by WWII.
The term "people" implies civilians; that figure would have to be researched. As for men killed during the US Civil War, for both sides, approximately 800,000 men were killed on the battlefields. Far more than that died from diseases.
It depends on the type of railroad. During war whichever one of the sides has access to a railroad they have access to supplies and other items.
All sides used air raid's to decrease civilian morale. There was an agreement when the war started that there would be no civilian casualty's and that treaty was completely ignored.
People very rarely changed sides during the English Civil War.
the two sides during the US civil war were the union (North) and the confederacy (south)
