An indirect shows when something was done to something or someone.
For example: He gave the book to me.
The book is the direct object, me is the indirect object.
A direct or indirect object is a part of a sentence. A single word in isolation is neither a direct or indirect object. However, most nouns can be used in a sentence as either a direct or indirect object.
No, "what" is not an indirect object in this sentence. In this sentence, "what" is a pronoun used as the object of the verb "having." It's asking about the thing being consumed for dinner.
The noun 'story' can be used for any function of a noun, the subject of a sentence, the direct object or indirect object of a verb, and the object of a preposition. Examples: Subject: The story was a good one. Direct object: Grandma told a story of her childhood. Indirect object: What is the name of the story? (object of the preposition 'of')
Yes. In fact, a sentence must have a direct object in order to have an indirect object. (Note, however, that some consider the subject of a sentence in the passive voice to be an "implicit" indirect object, because it the sentence is changed to the active voice, the subject in the passive voice will often become an indirect object in the active voice.)
There is no indirect object; the direct object is 'it' (immediately is an adverb modifying the verb spent).

Yes, the verb "made" can be used in a sentence with an indirect object. For example, in the sentence "She made him a cake," "him" is the indirect object receiving the cake, while "a cake" is the direct object. This structure illustrates how "made" can convey the action of creating something for someone else.
Any noun can function as an indirect object. A noun is used as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition. Example sentence for the noun 'president' as indirect object: The minister brought the president some bad news. (the direct object is 'news', the indirect object is 'president')

No, "grandmother" is not an indirect object. It is a noun that typically serves as a subject or direct object in a sentence. An indirect object is a noun or pronoun that receives the direct object. For example, in the sentence "She gave her grandmother a present," "grandmother" is the indirect object.
It's unusual for a number to be used as an indirect object, but it can be done. For example, "Give the three of them the answer to question #7." In that sentence, "three" is the indirect object.
Jim is a proper noun. As with any noun it can be a direct object, indirect object depending on how it is used in a sentence. Whether a noun is an indirect object does not depending on anything do do with the noun itself. The indirect object is indirectly affected by the action of the sentence. It is the subject of the sentence "Jim ate a hot dog." It is the direct object of "Sally kissed Jim." It is the indirect object of "Sally gave Jim a present."
The direct object is "you"; the indirect object (I believe) is "this".
