No. The word "idiom" is a noun. An idiom is a term or phrase whose meaning is different from the separate words in the term. For example, the idiom 'keep up' has little to do with keeping anything or with an upward direction. It means maintaining (keeping) one's relative position as it changes (goes up, i.e. increases in elapsed time or distance).
Idioms are phrases that cannot be defined literally. "Abroad" is a word. It means not in your native soil.
Some idioms may be used as adverbs, yes, but not all of them. You could use "at your earliest convenience" or "by the skin of your teeth" as adverbs, but you could not use "raining cats and dogs" or "caught a cold" as adverbs, for example.
"At once" can function as both an adverb and a conjunction in a sentence. As an adverb, it typically means "simultaneously" or "immediately." As a conjunction, it can signal a contrast or unexpected result.
No, it is not. It is a verb, the present tense, third person singular form of the verb "to say."
An idiom can also be called a figure of speech or a saying.
'At last' is called an idiom. 'But' can be a conjunction, preposition, adverb or noun. 'Therefore' is an adverb.
Yes, it is an adverbial phrase. The phrase "after all" is an idiom meaning "nevertheless."
No, it is not a preposition. It is an idiom: a compound adverb meaning a moment ago.

No. But it may still be an adverb as in the idiom "came to" (awoke, revived). The number "two" is a numerical adjective. The homophone "to" can be a preposition, infinitive marker or adverb. The homophone "too" is an adverb meaning also, or excessively.

Yes, it is a preposition. The idiom "of course" originally used course as a noun, and "of" is no longer considered an adverb on its own.
No, in fact it is not actually a word. The past tense of blow is blew, and there is no common adverb form of the verb (there are adjectives blown and blowing). There is one adverb form that developed from an idiom: mind-blowingly.
No. Laugh is a verb, loud is an adverb (loudly), and out is an adverb (modifies loud, idiomatically). The idiom "out loud" means "aloud." Loud, is, however, usually an adjective (loud noise, loud colors).

Yes. The phrase "not at all" is an adverb modifying an adjective. It indicates that the characteristic, trait, or state is not present to a great degree. Example: The shop is not at all crowded today. The manager was not at all happy with the changes. The idiom "at all" and the word "not" are both adverbs by themselves.
