Can g sharp or a flat be called a double sharp of double flat?
no, g sharp is the only "landlocked" note, which means it can only be called g sharp or a flat, not any double sharps or double flats.
By how much does a sharp or flat alter as a note?
No. On a certain note with both a sharp and flat, (G, for example) they are the same distance from G, but going in diferent directions. G sharp raises the note by one half step while G flat lowers the note by one half step. However, it is possible for a sharp note to mean the same note as a flat note. For example, G sharp is the same note as A flat. This is called being enharmonic.
What is it called when the same note can be called by two different names?
It's called enharmonic spelling. An example is C-sharp and D-flat.

What is the difference between a sharp and a flat on a piano?
A sharp raises a note by a half-step. A flat lowers a note by a half-step. Any one key on the piano - both white and black - can be referred to as a sharp or a flat. For example: C-natural - a white key - can also be called B-sharp or D-double-flat. Or, for another example: G# - a black key - can also be called A-flat. The exact symbol used for a note (i.e. a flat or a sharp) is determined by the key signature and the specific harmonics within the music.
What is a sharp flat or natural placed before a note?

If the note is on the bar, the sharp (or flat, or natural) goes before the note. If you are just writing the note out, the sharp goes after the note.

It's because that note is the only one two half-steps away from another flat/sharp note in both directions.
What does the natural sign do to a sharp or flat in music?
A natural and a sharp before a note means that the note was previously a double-sharp and is now just a sharp.
