A note which is neither sharp nor flat is called natural.
A natural
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.
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.
It's called enharmonic spelling. An example is C-sharp and D-flat.
They are called "accidentals". This also includes naturals (which make a sharp or flat note in the key signature not sharp or flat for that measure).

No, a sharp and B flat are not the same. A sharp raises a note by a half step, while B flat lowers a note by a half step.
In music theory, a sharp raises a note by a half step, a flat lowers a note by a half step, and a natural cancels out a sharp or flat to play the original note.

A sharp raises a note by half a step, while a flat lowers a note by half a step on the piano. For example, if a note is played as C♯, it is one half step higher than C; if played as C♭, it is one half step lower than C.
To determine if a note is flat or sharp, you need to look at the symbol next to the note on the sheet music. A flat symbol () lowers the pitch of the note by a half step, while a sharp symbol () raises the pitch of the note by a half step.
To determine if a note is sharp or flat, you look at the symbol next to the note on the sheet music. A sharp symbol () means the note is raised by a half step, while a flat symbol (b) means the note is lowered by a half step.
They are called "accidentals". This also includes naturals (which make a sharp or flat note in the key signature not sharp or flat for that measure).
C sharp is equivalent to the note D flat.
