There are many ways to set a diamond or any other precious stone, depending on the cut, size and purpose of the setting.
Any type of setting is designed to protect the stone and to keep the stone in the setting.
How you set a diamond depends on the type of setting. The most common type of setting is a prong setting which is set by cutting tiny grooves on the inside of the prong. The edge of the diamond will sit in these grooves. The prongs are then squeezed against the diamond to hold it in place.
No it is not a diamond but it is a type of setting where accent diamonds are set closely together for a diamond-encrusted look. The setting can simply be a band with a pave setting or a single stone with a pave setting on the sides.
Any setting is appropriate for a diamond, depending on what the jewelry designer includes in the design. Uniformly, however, the setting must be secure for the stone, because of its value.
The Diamond Buying Guide website has a section dedicated to explaining the different types of diamond settings. Also jewellery stores such as Zales, Tiffanys, and Jared have employees who can give you additional information on any type of diamond setting.

Well no not really. The cost of a diamond is usually independent of the cost of a diamond ring setting. The only relationship I can think of between these two values is when a diamond is fancy cut, has an unusual shape or is very large in size. In that case, a run of the mill ring setting may not do, and you may need to have your ring setting custom made in order to accommodate an unusual diamond.
Yes. You can re-set a diamond into another setting, and in this sense it is recyclable.
