Yes.
Not if the judgment was for a case involving fraud. And the state doesn't make any difference, unless there is a state bankruptcy procedure that you are using.
Yes, in any state. You may, if the statute of limitations has not run (out), file a criminal complaint and ask for a restitution order. That would not be dischargeable.
You should be.
Yes. Paying back is obviously viewed better than not doing so...regardless, or maybe especially if, the amount not paid was legally discharged.
Winning a lawsuit will have no impact on your ability to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you are a judgment creditor, the judgment might become an asset of the bankruptcy estate and the bankruptcy trust might choose to sell the judgment or enforce the judgment for the benefit of your creditors.. if someone files bankruptcy on as credit card does that a third party has charged on and the debt is cleared dose the third party continue paying for a debt that is no longer there

A judgment is awarded after a lawsuit has been won. If this is an issue of paying a defaulted debt before the lawsuit is heard then it is quite possible . The majority of lawsuits of all types are settled out of court. Of course it is always at the discretion of the plaintiff on how they wish to handle the issue.
One way to legally avoid paying a civil judgment is to file for bankruptcy, as it can discharge certain types of debts. Additionally, you can try to negotiate a settlement with the creditor or explore exemptions that may protect your assets from being seized to satisfy the judgment. It is important to seek legal advice to understand your options and rights in this situation.
Not if the debt is discharged in the bankruptcy.
Yes.
Any money you get from such a claim will most likely go to those which already have a judgment against you for not paying debts that you own. It depends on what types of debts and payments you have. I would suggest asking your bankruptcy attorney. He should do something for the money he was paid.
When you are living with someone they are not included in your bankruptcy. If you are paying them rent, then the money you pay is an expense and will be considered for bankruptcy.
