Weathering can only occur on the surface of the earth because the weather is only present on the surface of the earth. The surface of the earth refers to any exposed area.

Sedimentary rocks are the type of rocks that can only form on or very near Earth's surface. Sedimentary rocks form from weathering processes that occur on Earth's surface.
Sedimentation
Any type of extrusive igneous rock. (i.e. basalt, rhyolite, andesite...) Also, some sedimentary rocks form at the surface by the precipitation of minerals when solutions cool or the water evaporates out of them. Examples include travertine, a calcite-rich rock that forms in hot mineral spring as the water cools, and various evaporites.

Sedimentation
Generally, the surface of a rock is the only part of the rock that the chemicals can get to, to do their weathering.
As seen by a person on the surface of the earth, a solar eclipsecan only occur at the time of New Moon.

Solar eclipses occur when the moon moves in front of the sun, causing the suns light to be temporarily blocked. Since the sun is only visible from the Earth's surface during the day, this is the only time that a solar eclipse can occur.
No. A gross example is Venus, which has a runaway greenhouse effect. The surface temperature is hot enough to melt lead.
False
A negligible percentage, significantly less than 1%. Rivers occur only of the surface of the earth, around 70% of which is oceans. Rivers occupy a tine proportion of the remaining surface. Compared to the radius of the earth their depth is negligible so that they occupy a minuscule proportion of the earth's volume.
