This wasn't the case with all personnel deployed to Vietnam. Units rotated in and out of Vietnam. Incoming personnel would be sent in as replacements for soldiers who'd finished their tour before the rest of their unit or had been killed or wounded. Those personnel were sent to Vietnam and assigned to a unit there.
No. I believe you're referring to the Corcoran boots, which are used in formal wear by parachute units of the Army. They don't actually jump in those - in parachute operations, the same jungle boots, black leather boots, desert boots, etc. common to the leg units are worn.
The Kentucky Army National Guard 2/138th Field Artillery was deployed to South Vietnam.

Vietnamization was part of President Nixon's plan for "Peace with Honor" by training, equipping, and then turning the full responsibility of defending South Vietnam to South Vietnam's military units.
It is most likely that they most combat jumps by any individual would be six. It is not actually known who the person because the jumps are made as units, not individuals.
The NVAF MiGs battled the USAF & USN air units over North Vietnam (Air War). The NVA battled the USA, USMC, and USN riverine units in South Vietnam (Ground and Riverine War).

Yes. The 108th Training Command is headquartered there. There is also the Det 1 824th QM. 1330 Westover St Which is a parachute rigger unit. This unit is an airborne unit and jumps frquently. Talk to you local recruiter and tell him you want to be airborne.
North Vietnam was the scene of the AIR WAR during the Vietnam War. N. Vietnam was bombed by air units from the US Navy and US Air Force. US Marine Corps units bombed in South Vietnam in support of their ground Marines. North Vietnam defended itself in North Vietnam with SAM sites and NVAF MiG 17, 19, and MiG 21 jet interceptors.

Just as the parachute introduced a third dimension to the battlefield and created AIRBORNE units during WWII...the helicopter added to the already existing 3rd dimensional battlefield but created the AIRMOBILE divisions in Vietnam. Airmobile infantrymen were capable of fighting two or more battles in one day! Whereas WWII infantrymen normally fought one battle in one day (since they had to walk there while Vietnam grunts flew).
Yes, many USAF Reserve squadrons flew combat missions in Vietnam; especially from the F100 Supersabre units.
US Air Forces (to include naval & marine air units) engaged North Vietnamese Air Force units; and bombed targets in North Vietnam. US Navy Riverine Forces patrolled the countless rivers of South Vietnam, and interdicted enemy units moving about the waterways. US Army/Marine Ground units "Searched" for the enemy, and "Destroyed" him where ever he was found.

Oh, yes. I seriously doubt you'd find any military which fields paratroopers which hasn't had parachute-related incidents. Every parachute units deals with the same risks - towed jumpers, jumpers burning in, improperly packed parachutes, etc.
