Not all questions are suitable for scientific inquiry. A scientific question should be specific, testable, and focused on a phenomenon that can be observed or measured. It should also be grounded in existing knowledge and lead to new insights or discoveries. Questions that are too broad, vague, or untestable may not be suitable for scientific inquiry.
The first step in any scientific inquiry is pose a question.

Scientific inquiry attempts to avoid bias, prejudice, falsification of data, oversimplification, dishonesty of any type, superstition, etc. The investigator attempts to observe things as they are, rather than trying to force the observation to fit the theory.
No... scientific inquiry begins by coming up with a question. From there you develop a hypothesis, test the hypothesis, alter your hypothesis if need be, test again, etc. Only after you have data that supports your hypothesis (if it ever does) do you draw any conclusions. If your data consistently does not support your hypothesis, no matter how it is modified, you may draw conclusions about your basic contentions as well. YES BUT..... what should you ask yourself in drawing a conclusion about an experiment?
No. There are questions whose possible answers can't be tested by experiment, and are therefore not answerable by scientific means. The classic one, though not the only one by far, is the question of the existence of God.
Yes, almost any question can be investigated though scientific inquiry.

Any scientific inquiry necessarily involves observation and reasoning.

The National Science Education Standards define scientific inquiry as "the diverse ways in which scientists study the natural world and propose explanations based on the evidence derived from their work. Scientific inquiry also refers to the activities through which students develop knowledge and understanding of scientific ideas, as well as an understanding of how scientists study the natural world."

Unfalsifiable questions. What this means is that if a question cannot be proven wrong by any means, then science cannot provide any answers about it.
