before, (like this).
put it outside.
A period would go inside parentheses to finish a complete sentence, but you always need sentence-ending punctuation outside of the parentheses.
It will depend on the specific usage. She said, "I have to go." "I have to go," She said.
After the parenthesis.
A comma typically goes before parentheses if the sentence structure requires it. For example, in the sentence "She decided to go to the park (which was quite crowded), despite the weather," the comma is placed before the parentheses. However, if the parentheses are at the end of a sentence and the sentence does not require a comma, then no comma is needed.
Use a period inside a parenthetical when the full sentence inside the parentheses ends.
put it outside.
Parentheses are placed at the end of a sentence before the final punctuation mark. If the entire sentence is within the parentheses, the period goes inside the closing parenthesis. For example: "He bought apples (which were on sale)." If the parentheses contain a complete sentence, the period should be placed inside the closing parentheses.

No. Typically, you will only put ending punctuation (in this case, a period) if the sentence within the parentheses is a complete sentence.
The comma typically goes before the parentheses if it is part of the main sentence. If the parentheses contain a complete sentence, the period or other punctuation mark will typically go inside the parentheses.
yes
The entire sentence should be in parentheses, however the portion that is, should contain a period outside of the parentheses.
Put a comma between them. Better still, put them in brackets (parentheses) before that.
If you put in parentheses, you can change the order of operations in many cases, as parentheses come before everything in the order of operations.
It will depend on the specific usage. She said, "I have to go." "I have to go," She said.
If one or more sentences are between parentheses, then put the period or other final punctuation between the parentheses: Always thank the bellboy. (Usually you should also tip him.) Otherwise put the period or other final punctuation outside the final parenthesis: Always thank the bellboy (and any other staff who has aided you). The period or other final punctuation belongs to the sentence as a whole. If the entire sentence is within parentheses, naturally that includes the final punctuation. If the parentheses enclose only part of sentence, naturally the final punctuation goes outside.
