No, most alternators with charge in either direction,, external fan type alternators may not cool as well when run in reverse, but you can find a bi-rotational fan.
It's inside the alternator. Almost all automotive alternators have an integrated regulator. i believe it's built into the alternator
alternators are classified as stators and rotors
Firstly, no you must not pick the particular Alternators
This question is not clear since alternators produce alternating current.
Make sure the alternators are properly installed and aligned.

Most modern alternators have the voltage regulator inside the alternator housing, so you have to take the vehicle to a automotive electrical shop to have the electrical system tested, unless you want to pull the alternator and take that in.
One can research the prices of used alternators by going online and looking up alternators of the right sort on Amazon. There are various different merchants there so they will have various prices.
Don't waste your time or money rebuilding the starter just buy one already rebuilt. If you wish to rebuild your starter for some reason then take the starter off and carry it to a qualified builder for starters and alternators. Even the best automotive mechanics don't build starters or alternators anymore, it's just easier and usually cheaper in the long run to replace it.
Yes.
Alternators produce AC, which is rectified by diodes if DC is needed. Dynamos produce DC by using a commutator.
