Yes, almond meal is made of finely ground almonds. Sometimes the almonds are blanched first, to remove the skins. More often, however, they are left whole with the skins intact, so that the almond meal has dark flecks in it.
Almond powder is usually a mix of almond flavoring and other chemicals and is used to make drinks and to add flavor to certain recipes. Ground almonds, or almond flour, are usually just finely ground almonds with no additives.
Almond meal and almond flour are both made from ground almonds and many people use the terms interchangeably. However, commercial varieties can differ significantly in how finely ground they are and this may affect the outcome of baking and cooking. Typically, "almond meal" refers to a coarser grind with larger particles, whereas "almond flour" refers to a more finely ground substance. Which to choose depends greatly on how you want to use it. Both types of ground almonds have their advantages and disadvantages. Almond meal is often less expensive, and it's great for recipes that don't require a fine texture. It works well for breading chicken or fish and in some coarser textured baked goods like muffins. You don't even have to buy almond meal; you can make it yourself as long as you have a good food processor. But the larger particles mean that the final product is less cohesive, so if you are attempting to make cakes and cookies, you may want to purchase some finely-ground almond flour. Both almond meal and almond flour come in blanched and un-blanched varieties, depending on the manufacturer. Removing the almond skins before grinding makes the blanched varieties lighter in color, so that baked goods resemble those made with regular flour. Recipes made with un-blanched almond flour will have darker flecks throughout. Almond flour and almond meal are increasingly popular ingredients. They are low in carbohydrates and they add protein, moisture and healthy fats to any recipe. Almonds are also naturally gluten-free, but you may need to check that the flour or meal is ground in a gluten-free facility. Consider the recipe you want to make to choose what grind of almonds is right for you.

Too many possible variables. How dry are the almonds, what size/thickness is the cut of the almonds, what is the shape of your cup measure? There is no conversion of volume to weight for almonds.

Almond meal or ground flaxseed can be used as a gluten-free substitute for bread crumbs.
Yes, almond flour can be used in a recipe without cooking it. Almond flour is simply almonds that have been ground. Unlike regular flour made from wheat, almond flour does not contain that starchy chalk-like taste when consumed raw. There are a couple of different textures of almond flour that manufacturers produce. Almond meal has been known to also be called almond flour. Almond meal consists of almonds that have been finely ground, but they still have a slightly granular texture and usually have bits of the almond skins still visible. This type is specifically great to sprinkle over your cereal or in a breakfast smoothie for an added boost of both flavor and protein. Regular almond flour that is very fine and powdery can also be used raw. It can be used much like the almond meal, but you may have to add it slowly to liquids as to avoid clumping.
Almond meal is called "बादाम का आटा" (Badam ka Aata) in Hindi.

No. Primarily, self-raising flour rises and almond meal does not. Secondly, flour contains gluten, which is what holds the structure of a baked good together - almond meal does not contain gluten, meaning the texture would be particularly odd (heavy, not crumbly). Thirdly, flour absorbs much more fluid than almond meal. Fourthly, almond meal is denser than flour, meaning you would have to use much more of it to get the same volume of flour. These reasons mean that almond meals is not a close substitute for self-raising flour as their properties are very different. If you're attempting to make a gluten-free cake (hence the substitution), use a recipe which already happens to be gluten free.
