If friend negligently caused the accident, yes.
you can't sue him if he had your permission to drive car. you need to collect from your insurance company. if you don't have insurance - you're outta luck.

Sure a friend or stranger can sue you for just about anything.
Yes. You can sue for whatever you feel is appropriate and worth the attorney fees. It will be up to the judge (or jury, if you get one) to decide the outcome.
Sue the owner of the car, since the owner was likely required to carry insurance as part of the financing deal.
Your insurance may go up it may not, also sue for allot of money!!!
Only if you let him or if you had known he was driving it.
I think it depends on your insurance company. A friend totaled a car and they based the value of 3 or 4 values. Things like Kelly Blue Book and such.
Not if you notify you local PVA that the car is totaled and not longer in service. You will pay taxes up to the day it was totaled.
i am not sure and you need to call a lawyer
You uninsured motorist coverage, if you have it should handle the gap. Otherwise, you can sue the driver that hit you for the difference.
Because this was an at-fault incident, the 500.00 deductible is your responsibility. You as the owner of the vehicle allowed your friend to drive the car to begin with. Your friend in all fairness should pay you the 500 dollars. Why is your friend's insurance paying you? Your own comprehensive/collision policy should pay you (less the deductible) and then "subrogate" the claim to your friend's auto or general liability insurance or sue him directly if he has no insurance and send you the deductible after they have collected.
