As far as the English language goes, you can use any word any way that you want. Many successful writers defy tradition in their writing styles.
HOWEVER as a grammatical rule of thumb you would not want to do that, since therefore is a conjunction and should logically link two ideas together. if you are starting a new paragraph, you should avoid using therefore in order to transition into the new paragraph. if you are not transitioning ideas, then you should consider continuing the paragraph
I do not use a comma before and after that word, therefore you will not see it in any sentence I have written.
Yes. Therefore is usually used at the start of a sentence, to indicate a concluding idea or thought. The comma following it is used as a pause, separating the connecting word from the idea or thought. Strangely enough, a comma is not used in my sentence above because " Therefore " is used as the subject of the verb is, rather than used as a connecting word to a previous idea or statement.
If it is used as what is termed an "interrupter," you use a comma. If it is joining two clauses, you use a semicolon before it and a comma after it. Interrupter: He would, therefore, appreciate a quick response. Joining clauses: He appreciates quick responses; therefore, I shall endeavour to provide them without delay.
Yes, but I wouldn't use also at the beginning of a sentence.
"Therefore" is a transitional word and traditionally a comma is placed after the word to indicate the transition. For example: The economy of the United States was historically based upon agriculture; therefore, a proposed tariff on exported cotton was extremely unpopular with Congress.

You can start the beginning of a essay with the words, 'the, what, our, you and it.' Try not to start you beginning paragraph with words like 'and, but, and because.'
Either a comma or a semi colon can be used, depending on the rest of the sentence.
If it is used as what is termed an "interrupter," you use a comma. If it is joining two clauses, you use a semicolon before it and a comma after it. Interrupter: He would, therefore, appreciate a quick response. Joining clauses: He appreciates quick responses; therefore, I shall endeavour to provide them without delay.
Say your sentence aloud. If you find you pause before the word 'therefore', you will probably want to insert a comma. If you do not pause, no comma is required. Use a comma when the sense requires it, not because you have a specific word in your sentence.

The comma goes after the word 'because' when it is used at the beginning of a dependent clause, separating the clause from the main clause. For example: "I stayed inside, because it was raining."
Yes, a comma is typically used after a phrase that starts with "when" if it comes at the beginning of a sentence. For example: "When the bell rang, the students rushed out of the classroom."
Yes, typically you would use a comma after "although" when it is used at the beginning of a dependent clause to introduce contrast or concession. For example: "Although it was raining, we still went for a walk."
