A plastic Clarinet is good for marching band or pep band. They are more durable then wooden clarinets and will not crack due to temperature like a wooden clarinet will. They are also good for students that are just starting out on clarinet. But for anyone serious about playing the clarinet it is better to invest in a wooden clarinet.
yes they work. in my music class we used plastic ones, and they worked just as well as my teachers bamboo one.

I suspect you are referring to single reeds (clarinet and sax) and double reeds (oboe and bassoon).
There may be a couple of reasons. The reeds may be either too thin or too thick for you to play with. Or, it's common to find "bad reeds" in a new box of reeds, yes I know, it doesn't make a lot of sense. Even when the box of reeds is the same thickness there are little variations in the cut that can make one reed play better than another. It's customary for clarinet players to either throw away some of the "new reeds", fix them or simply use them only to study.

One place you can get clarinet reeds is The Music Stop. They sell Rico and Vandoren reeds.

Well, it is depending on what type of company you are buying a clarinet from. Some companies allow and don't allow reeds.

A reed. Single reeds are used on the mouthpieces of clarinets and saxophones.
If you mean "reeds" no, trumpets do no use reeds. Some woodwind instruments use reeds, like the saxophone, clarinet, and oboe.
oboes are double reeded instruments whereas clarinets use single reeds

A bass clarinet, like all the different types of clarinets in it's family, have one reed.
