It's a misnomer. 4140 is a type of steel, which is NOT stainless.
a tin plate is tin and a plate, and stainless steel is stainless steel.
Easy. A rod or electrode used in welding stainless steel. Or to "clad" a surface with stainless steel. (Nothing more than laying down a layer or layers of stainless.) MIG wire also comes in stainless steel. Their are different types of stainless steel and rods/wire/electrodes to use on them.
Stainless steel was invented in Sheffield
Per the attached related link, the density (hence weight) of stainless is slightly more than the mild carbon steel. Using about 8.03/7.84 ratio of density, for the same volume of material the stainless will weigh 2.4 % more.

Depends on the maker. Some gun barrels are the finest quality type 4140 chrome moly or 416 stainless steel with button rifling. Hi-Point pistol frames are made from a high-impact polymer and barrels are from an alloy stainless steel.
The weight of 4140 steel varies depending on the form and dimensions of the material. On average, the density of 4140 steel is around 0.283 lb/in³. Therefore, to calculate the weight of a specific piece of 4140 steel, you would need to know its dimensions and then use the density to calculate the weight.
The cost of 4140 steel can vary depending on factors such as quantity, supplier, and market conditions. On average, the price for 4140 steel can range from $1.50 to $3 per pound. It's recommended to contact steel suppliers directly for the most up-to-date pricing information.
Steel grade 4140 is generally considered better than C45 for applications requiring higher strength and toughness. 4140 is an alloy steel that includes chromium and molybdenum, providing superior hardenability and wear resistance. In contrast, C45 is a carbon steel that offers good machinability and moderate strength but lacks the alloying elements that enhance 4140's performance in demanding conditions. Thus, for applications needing enhanced mechanical properties, 4140 is typically the preferred choice.
Yep, you can weld steel to stainless and you can weld stainless to steel. You can use steel or stainless welding rod in either case but the steel or steel welding rod will of course rust.

Well, the answer lies in the question; by saying 'real' stainless steel, you are implying that there are fake metals which go under the name 'stainless steel', thus the difference is that the stainless steel in refigerators is actually stainless steel, and the fake stainless steel is not...thus your question is answered...
No, Stainless steel is not porous. Steel how ever is.

Steel and stainless steel tend to weigh around the same, however, stainless steel can sometimes be a bit lighter.
Yes, stainless steel can be magnetized to some extent. The level of magnetic properties can vary depending on the specific grade of stainless steel and its composition. Generally, austenitic stainless steels (e.g. 304, 316) are not magnetic, while ferritic and martensitic stainless steels can be magnetized.
