it will depend on the department. some CSIs can choose from a very short list of sidearms. Some departments mandate .40sw caliber and some 9mm. brands will include Beretta, Sig Sauer, Glock, Smith&Wesson, - and other recognized quailty brands. The most common will be a 15 round 9mm pistol.
That generally depends on the regulations of the department that the detective works for. Some police departments require a certain model of sidearm, while others are more relaxed about the sidearm requirements.
.45 cal LC revolver, in my humble opinion. Depends on how good you are at hitting what you're shooting at!

James Bond's signature sidearm in the film series has been the German Walther PPK chambered in 7.65mm (.32 ACP).

Which agents? Agents carry whatever they are issued or allowed to carry by the local law in their municipalities, or by what is required by their organizations policies.
CCW is shorthand for "carry concealed Weapon". It generally refers to a sidearm that is suited for concealed carry. These would be smaller and flatter than most sidearms. Nearly any sidearm CAN be carried concealed, but some are more readily caried in that fashion.
no

Most of the federal agencies are using .40 cal hollow points.
The official sidearm of the US Military is the Beretta M9, 9mm Parabellum pistol. I would imagine that at the level of operations the Navy SEALS are at, the individual can carry the sidearm of their choice. This may well be the M9, but another popular pistol is the M1911A1, .45ACP which was the official US Military sidearm from 1911 until the 1980's (before the M9). I don't know of any restriction regarding their choices. I doubt many would carry a .22LR Derringer though :)
If you mean federal agents such as FBI or CIA, yes, most active agents carry guns.
