Yes. Though we call them "dialects," Mandarin and Cantonese are separated enough to be different languages. However, because the Chinese use a ideographic "alphabet" both kinds of speakers can READ the Chinese language.
While Mandarin and Cantonese are two distinct Chinese languages, speakers of one can often understand basic phrases or context from the other language due to shared vocabulary and grammar. However, full mutual understanding may not be possible without prior exposure or learning of the other language.
Yes, "zang" does mean excellent in Cantonese, but this is one of the cases where some words spoken in Cantonese cannot be written. Most often used in "ho zang ah!" Which translates to "very excellent!"
"Break a leg!" is a common phrase used to wish someone good luck before a performance, but it cannot be understood by its literal meaning.
"Break a leg" is a common phrase used to wish someone good luck. It cannot be understood literally; it is simply a way to encourage someone before a performance or event.
You have to be more specific. First of all, you need to say whether it's mandarin or cantonese. Second, you would need either the characters or the tones, because there are four different tones in mandarin and six in cantonese, so there are multiple meanings of each word, even if the tones are known. It's like asking someone what the word well means. It could mean both well the noun and well the adjective. now imagine that well has eight different meanings instead of two. see how that's confusing? sorry I couldn't help you.

It's not an exact science. Different linguists classify languages differently. Here are two clear examples. Sometimes Politics comes into play: For example, Hindi and Urdu are mutually intelligible, but written with different alphabets and spoken in different countries. Urdu also contains more Arabic loan words, but otherwise, they are the exact same language. Yet many linguists classify them as separate languages because the two cultures are so different. Sometimes writing comes into play: Mandarin and Cantonese are completely different spoken languages. A Mandarin speaker cannot understand a Cantonese speaker at all. Yet on paper, they look like the exact same language. They can be understood by each other perfectly in writing.
