The North American and Eurasian plates, between which is the Mid-Atlantic ridge - the location of Eyja. On the Mid-Atlantic Ridge - as at all constructive plate boundaries - the two plates move apart from each other. As they separate magma easily escapes to fill the gap, either as a relatively gentle eruption or a lava flow.
The Eyjafjallajökull eruption in 2010 involved the Eurasian and North American tectonic plates in Iceland. The volcano is located along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where these two plates are diverging.
The Eyjafjallajokull eruption started on March 20, 2010, and continued until April 12, 2010. This means it lasted for roughly 23 days.
The 2010 eruption of Eyjafjallajokull produced about 250 million cubic meters of ash.
around 60 day with a brief pause in between
The total cost of the Eyjafjallajokull eruption in 2010 was estimated to be around $5 billion. This cost included economic losses due to flight cancellations, agricultural losses, and disruptions to tourism and supply chains.

The Pacific and North American Plates were involved in the Novarupta eruption.
The plates involved in the Montserrat eruption are the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. Montserrat is located along the boundary where these two plates meet. The eruption was caused by the subduction of the North American Plate beneath the Caribbean Plate, leading to volcanic activity on the island.

Yes, there were signs leading up to the eruption of Eyjafjallajokull in 2010, such as increased seismic activity and swelling of the volcano. However, the exact timing and scale of the eruption were difficult to predict accurately.

No one. The eruption was too small to kill, luckily.
