Yes, in addition to being a renowned artist, Raphael was also an architect. He played a significant role in the design of several important buildings in Rome, including the Villa Madama and the Chigi Chapel in the Basilica of Santa Maria del Popolo. Moreover, he was appointed the chief architect of St. Peter's Basilica shortly before his death, demonstrating his influence in the field of architecture alongside his artistic endeavors.

There is no exact answer. There are more than a hundred easel paintings (= paintings on wood or canvas). Some of them are definitely by Raphael, others are ascribed to him, which means some experts say they are, other experts say they are not by his hand.

Also 8 large format painted carton originals for tapestries. So!?

There is no direct link between them. The Brotherhood was created to oppose traditionalist thinking/teaching which had stemmed Raphael's work. For example that a certain subject must be portrayed and posed in a certain way. So it was not a slant on Raphael as an artist, but his followers (hence the term 'Pre-Raphaelite' rather than 'Pre-Raphael'), who had brought about a way of painting that they saw as stifling creativity.
Raphael was for some time employed as the architect of St Peter's in the Vatican, which was later continued by Michelangelo. Raphael was also in charge of the antique monuments in Rome.
In a way, yes. He was sort of the peak of Renaissance painting. On the other hand he died very young in 1520, so other painters (e.g. Michelangelo) painted later than Raphael.
No, he did not.
