It is like a sine-wave, but in the cycle both halves have the same polarity. Alternate half-cycles are reversed in phase so that they are all the same way. The fundamental frequency in the waveform is double the supply frequency, making the design of the filter easier.

If the rectifier is wye connected, ripple will increase. If it is delta connected, ripple will substantially increase. Whether or not the rest of the rectifier, filter, and regulator are damaged will depend on how much current is being pulled by whats left, and by how deep the ripple actually becomes.
The a.c. component, or ripple, produced by the 4-diode (full wave) bridge rectifier is the same as that produced by the 2-diode full wave rectifier. The bridge is connected across the secondary winding of a transformer. The 2 diodes of the other type of full wave rectifier are each connected to one end of a winding, but that winding requires a center tap. For any desired value of d.c. after rectification, the a.c. voltage of the 2-diode rectifier winding has to be twice that of the winding required for the bridge.
Filter capacitors smooth out the pulsating DC. Without the capacitors, the pulsating DC drops to zero at the AC crossing point, unless it is a three phase rectifier. Sometimes, that is sufficient. Sometimes, they are followed up with a regulator circuit that further stabilizes the DC.
Either less ripple voltage with the same filter capacitance, or similar ripple voltage with smaller filter capacitances (and thus physically smaller filter capacitors).
The relationship of the input frequency and output frequency in a half-wave rectifier is one-to-one.(For full-wave, its one-to-two.)The shape won't be the same, as the rectifier will only pass alternate half-cycles, but the apparent frequency will be the same.
It depends on whether or not it is a half wave or full wave rectifier. For a single phase 60 Hz rectifier, a half wave rectifier will be 60 Hz while a full wave rectifier will be 120 Hz. A three phase full wave rectifier will be 360 Hz.

put capacitor parallel on load (peak rectifier) or add low frequency pass filter (composed of L & C) to remove AC components

A rectifier is a device that contains diodes to convert an AC supply into DC. The resultant DC voltage has ripple on it at twice the source frequency, or six times the source frequency for a 3-phase rectifier. The subsequent filter is there to filter out the ripple to provide a constant dc voltage. On power supplies the filter is often a series inductor, while on low-power supplies used in electronics the filter is a parallel capacitor. Additional components may be added to give extra pure DC is required.
If the rectifier is wye connected, ripple will increase. If it is delta connected, ripple will substantially increase. Whether or not the rest of the rectifier, filter, and regulator are damaged will depend on how much current is being pulled by whats left, and by how deep the ripple actually becomes.

The purpose of a bridge rectifier is to basically turn AC into DC. In a half wave rectifier you just eliminate the negative part of sine wave so you have positive cycle and then zero volts for 1/2 a cycle. In a full wave you flip the negative to positive so you have continually repeating positive halfs of the sine wave. So, it is easier to filter the full wave into DC with a capacitor and you get more average power. The down side is the bridge is slightly more complex.
Filter capacitors smooth out the pulsating DC. Without the capacitors, the pulsating DC drops to zero at the AC crossing point, unless it is a three phase rectifier. Sometimes, that is sufficient. Sometimes, they are followed up with a regulator circuit that further stabilizes the DC.
