Any engine will lose RPM going up a hill, its called gravity and the engine has to overcome it. The heavier the vehicle the more RPM you lose. Thats also why transmissions have all the extra gears. Lower gear equals more pulling power and less speed, higher gear is less pulling power and more speed.
Yes a diesel engine requires a lot more air than a gasoline. The ratio for air to fuel in a gas engine is about 14.7:1. A diesel at idle is about 50:1 and in the higher rpms it can reach 70:1.
Normally Diesel engines produce more torque than gasoline engines but less horsepower. Gasoline engines rev up quicker and produce higher horsepower at higher rpms. Diesel engines develop their higher torque at lower rpms which allows a diesel to carry a heavier load.

It really comes down to power-to-weight, gear ratios, etc. The notion that diesel vehicles are significantly heavier or that diesels top out at lower RPMs isn't necessarily true...while there are gasoline engines which can run 15,000+ RPMs, they're not representative of a "typical" gas engine. Diesel vehicles have substantially higher torque, wider powerbands, and higher thermal efficiency, which can very easily give a diesel engined variant of a car a significant advantage over a gasoline powered version.
It depends how high you're talking about. If you mean revving all the way to the red line then yes this is bad for the engine. But the rpm shouldn't exceed 4000 rpm. If it is slightly below this then it is fine.
No, diesel engines run with lower rpms and which also causes them to have lower tempuratures. diesel engines in semi trucks get up to 1,000,000 miles in them with just simple rebuilds. gas engines are a disiaster with over 150,000 miles.
If you have an engine that idles at 6000 rpms, you need to have it checked - immediately. Around 750 rpms would be normal.
The 60-horsepower VW engine has a torque specification of 115 pounds at 2000 RPMs. The engine will have 130 pounds of torque at 2500 RPMs.
That would depend on the displacement, rpms and the load it is be asked to bear.
No. You are not going to be running an engine at over 6,000 rpms.
Diesel engines have more torque especially at low rpms. This gives them much more pulling power. They also last much longer that gasoline engines. require less maintenance, and get better fuel economy.
