Yes your state debt will be deducted from your federal return
From the IRS website:
Your refund may be reduced to pay a past due obligation such as child support, another federal agency debt, or state income tax. If this applies to you, the Financial Management Service, who issues IRS refunds, will send you a notice informing you of any offset they have made
Yes..deducted on Fed, not state (actually, you do Fed first normally, so you add them back for State).
If you took the amount as a deduction as State taxes on your federal return originally (say refund is from a prior year), then getting it back now is reported as income.
It depends on what they took out for federal taxes, and if your state takes out taxes, and what deductions you claim
State income taxes are deductible from Federal taxable income in the year they are paid, regardless of when they were due.

Whether or not you get your state taxes back when filing your tax return depends on various factors, such as your income, deductions, and credits. If you overpaid your state taxes throughout the year, you may receive a refund. However, if you owe additional taxes or did not have enough withheld, you may have to pay more when filing your tax return.

It depends on what is owed. For instance if you owe back child support they will take what is owed in arrears out of your federal return. This can also happen with a government school loan that is in default and other government debts. However, if you are married filing jointly then there is a form the spouse can file with your tax return that allows the spouse to receive his or her portion of the refund. It is called an injured spouse claim.
Yes. See: http://www.irs.gov/taxtopics/tc203.html Of course, if you adjusted your federal withholding so that you didn't overpay your taxes and need to get a refund, there would be nothing to take.
You do not have any way of knowing this until you complete your 1040 federal income tax return correctly and completely down to the last lines on your income tax return it say amount of refund.
