You could. You need the usual 4-speed-automatic-Transmission, the Autostickshifter AND the Autostick-Cluster. Without that cluster it won´t work (at least on a NGC - >2003). Were to get that things ? Good question - these parts are absolutely rare. Look at germany or UK for them. Also see 2gn.org for more details :-)
Nope, only a 5 speed Autostick automatic transmission.
You have to shift gears in all of them, so you'd call them "manual," but in 1969 you could get an "autostick" transmission that had an automatic clutch connected to a manual transmission.

A Super Beetle with a manual transmission has four forward gears and one reverse. A Super Beetle with an Autostick transmission has three forward and one reverse.
Autostick is a feature which allows the driver to shift gears on the fly much as in a manual (stickshift) car only with no clutch. The gears are changed simply by tapping or nudging the drive selection "stick" up or down.
It depends on which distributor and transmission you have. The stock distributor has one vacuum line going to it. An autostick transmission has one line. If you have a manual transmission and a Bosch 009 distributor like most people do, you have no vacuum lines.
If it stays in second all the time, the tcm has detected a malfunction and set a code. If it will not move at all, the fluid could be low.
Yes. Will it be cheap? Probably not, unless your car is really old. Transmission and engine work are probably the most expensive modifications you can make to a car.
No it will not work. the transmission in the 1993 is electronically controlled and the 1990 doesn't have the wiring or modules to control it. the transmission from a 1991 would work but would require modifying or swapping shifter linkage at transmission.
The "automatic gearbox" Volkswagen used to put in Beetles is an "autostick" transmission. It has a three-speed manual transmission connected to a vacuum-operated clutch and a torque converter. There's no clutch pedal but you still have to shift it.
