You can cash a cashier's check at places like check-cashing stores, some retail stores, and certain grocery stores. Be aware that these places may charge a fee for cashing the check.

A cashiers check is far safer than a personal check, whether you are the payee or the payor. If you are the payee (the one receiving the check) and receive a personal check that is insufficient, you have very little recourse in obtaining the money owed to you. If you are paid with a cashiers check, it is guaranteed funds, since the bank will only issue the check with available funds (meaning it has to be paid for with cash or purchased at the person's bank, where the bank can verify there are sufficient funds in their account to cover the amount of the check). If you are the payor (the one paying by check), the bank can trace the check for you if the person to whom you were paying loses it or says they never received it. Also, if the check does get lost, it will be far more difficult for someone to forge their signature to it and cash it. Also, a cashiers check does not have as much personal identification on it like a personal check does (address, checking account number, etc.).

Yes, you can cash a check at this bank if you have an account with them or if the check is drawn from their bank.
Assuming you try depositing a cashiers check from another bank into your bank account, it is unlikely to clear that same day. Even if your bank makes the funds available to you in a day or two, even that does not mean the check has necessarily cleared. I asked this question of an employee at a major bank at which I have an account (because I want to sell some large-ticket items for substantial amounts of money to a private party). She basically said, when the cashiers check actually clears depends on the bank that issued it. Even if your bank makes the funds available to you within a couple of days due to regulations imposed on them, the check may not actually clear (due to fraud or whatever). Your best bet is to physically visit the issuing bank, show them ID to prove who you are, and get them to cash the check immediately. They will then remove the funds from the account in question, and issue you a check from the bank directly. That new check will be essentially as good as cash.
At the bank that you use
No. Cash is actual bank notes/coins.
Take it to the bank whose address appears on the check (as the issuing bank) and see if a teller will cash it for you.

To cash a cashiers check if you have no account and the check is from out of state, you need to go to a business that specializes in cashing checks. You don't need an account there, and it shouldn't matter if a cashier's check is from out of state, since that type of check guarantees the funds. You can also go to a local branch of the bank that issued the cashier's check and cash it, if there is one near you.

No, obviously.
It wouldn't be easy. You would have to go to a main bank branch which had an affiliation with the US bank. The admin fee is likely to be quite high as well.
