The most likely way to reignite fusion in a white dwarf is for gas from a close binary companion to be pulled to it by gravity. As the gas collects the white dwarf heats up and may either ignite fusion in the hydrogen or in the carbon of the white dwarf itself.

Yes, far smaller. A red dwarf is a whole star in and of itself. A white dwarf is the collapsed remnant of the core of a low-to medium mass star. A white dwarf may be about the size of Earth.
Such a white dwarf could not exist. Above 1.4 solar masses a white dwarf will collapse to form a neutron star.
No, the sun will eventually evolve into a red giant before shedding its outer layers and becoming a white dwarf. The white dwarf stage marks the end of its evolution, where it will slowly cool down over billions of years.
White Hole - Red Dwarf - was created on 1991-03-07.
The gas that can reignite a glowing stick is oxygen. When oxygen comes in contact with the hot ember of the stick, it can cause it to combust and reignite.

A white dwarf could not become a red dwarf. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star. A red dwarf is a star with a very low mass.
No in the life cycle of a star, a white dwarf can cool and become a black dwarf
A cooled white dwarf is a black dwarf. I think you are thinking of a neutron star which has nothing to do with a white dwarf.
Yes, a white dwarf is made of plasma. A white dwarf is the core leftover from a low to medium mass star that has exhausted its nuclear fuel. The extreme heat and pressure in the core cause the atoms to lose their electrons, forming a plasma state.

No a white dwarf is a small compact star.
No. A white dwarf is a remnant of a dead star.
That might be a white dwarf.
The White Dwarf was created on 1963-02-17.
White Dwarf - magazine - was created in 1977.
