The aircraft mounted machine gun was at first simply a ground machine mounted for a gunner to fire. All sides in WW1 used it. The first successful machine gun fired by a pilot was the Lewis machine gun on a special mounting attached to the top wing, allowing the gun to fire over the propellor.
Value is too difficult to be accurate without seeing the gun. Condition which includes the amount of original finish and original configuration will determine value. Recommend taking it to a gun shop for appraisal.
The Battle of Somme was an important battle during World War I. During this battle, Germany introduced poison gas as a new weapon.

yes
Edward Lewis
No.
The Lewis gun used a pan type magazine, either 47 or 97 rounds of ammo.
Accurate by whose standards? No BB gun is really very accurate, but within about 10 feet they can have a good group.
Apples and oranges. Lewis was lighter, could be fired like a rifle, limited magazine capacity. Vickers was heavy, required a mount, belt fed, no limit to number of cartridges.
Both can be equally accurate
