You are cordially invited to attend my wedding.
No, it's rude to invite a guest to the Engagement Party when you have no intention of asking them to the wedding. If the guest has a reason they can't make the wedding then it's just fine to invite them to the Engagement Party.
If you don't want to invite your parents to a wedding don't tell them about the wedding in the first place.
Write "Adults Only Ceremony and Reception" on the bottom of your wedding invite
It's not in most cases. Destination weddings may be an exception, but to invite someone to your shower and not your wedding is a big no no.
No. You can invite or refuse to invite anyone you wish.
* It is wise not to invite 'some' subordinates' lest you hurt others feelings. If you have close friends that are your subordinates then you can invite them to the wedding.
With difficulty.

Do you have to? No Should you? If you consider them a friend, yes. If you don't consider them a friend? No. Common courtesy would be to invite them if you went to theirs.
You can invite anyone to your wedding, but it is doubtful that your premarital counselor would be able to make it, but at least send them an invitation. Leave it to their discretion as to whether they will attend or not.
