Such is what the rules of the Senate say. The president of the Senate is the vice-president who would take the president's office if he were convicted. He would have a conflict of interest, to be sure. Also, it is good to have an experienced judge rule over such an important trial.

It means that the closer (physically) you are to the president, the more influence you have over the president and the decisions he/she makes or those in the room with the president at the time decisions are made have the most influence (those in the room have the most power). For ex: the cabinet are the closest people to the president and that is why they help the president make the decisions that help the country move forward.

When Lincoln was assassinated, Vice President Andrew Johnson became the new President. No new Vice President was chosen; the office was vacant until Ulysses Grant was elected President in 1868 and Schuyler Colfax became Vice President.

No, not generally. The President has no legal connection to Congress. A president whose party gets a big majority in Congress has a lot of say over Congress, but it is mo tly because of respect or of party demands. Every President has some power over Congress because of the veto and because of appointments, but when the Congress is from the opposing party, his power over them is rather limited.
The president and the vice president runs the office together as a unit
