Well first off, they would have had to have something withheld to get a refund.
And presuming your meaning medical insurance (which is probably the only type that may be deductible), and presuming the expense for it is more than the minimum base percentage of their AGI, then it becomes a tax deductable expense. Again, if they get money back or have to pay comes down to how much they already paid for their ultimate taxable income.
No. It is either cash (if received) or a receivable. It is not income.

No, when filing for the state income taxes, you will receive your federal income tax refund as well as your state income tax refund.
Prior year tax refund. The IRS would be the only one that would be able to help you with this information about any missing refund that you have not received if you have filed your income tax return correctly and mailed it or sent it to the correct IRS address. To check on your current year income tax refund go to the IRS.gov website and choose check on my refund or where is my refund on either side of the web page.
In the U.S., your federal income tax refund does not count as taxable income for the next year. If you receive a refund from your state, and you itemized your deductions on the federal return, then the state refund will count as income on your federal return. (If you didn't itemize, then your state refund won't count as income.)
Nope. Parents pay taxes, so they get the refund money. They will most likely spend it to feed you and put a roof over your heads.

Yes. State refund must be claimed as income on your federal return.
