Sentences shouldn't start with the words 'and' or 'but'. However, this rule is often overlooked for dramatic or other purposes. When it is done though, a comma should usually be placed after the words 'and' or 'but'.
A good guide to remember is that if you can remove the part of the sentence between the commas and it still makes sense, then you have placed the commas in the correct places.
Yes, when "sometimes" is used at the beginning of a sentence, it is often followed by a comma to separate it from the main clause.
No, a comma is not always needed after "then" at the beginning of a sentence. It depends on the context and structure of the sentence. If "then" is used as a conjunction to connect two clauses, a comma may be necessary; otherwise, it is typically not required.
No, a comma is not needed after "yes" when starting a sentence.

No.
Sometimes. It depends on the sentence.
You can put a comma before or after just about any word if the sentence structure requires it. If the sentence structure does not require it, it may be permissable to use a comma to assist in clarity and avoid confusion. Otherwise, don't use a comma. Have I confused you yet? Using a comma does not depend on the word, it depends on the structure of the sentence.
