Trombones come in many sizes.
However, the common tenor, Bb (B-flat) Trombone is -- if you were to stretch the tubing out in a straight line -- nine feet long. This is what gives the instrument its fundamental pitch of Bb. By comparison, a Bb Trumpet, which is pitched an octave higher than the trombone, is exactly half the length of its larger cousin: 4½ feet long.
There are trombones larger and smaller than this common Bb instrument. The contrabass trombone is typically pitched an octave below the tenor trombone. Its overall length would be 18 feet (doubled, of course). The soprano trombone (or slide trumpet) is the same length of the standard Bb trumpet, mentioned above.
It depends on the size of the trombone and the size of the bugle! A typical tenor trombone is longer in length than a military-type bugle; however, a soprano trombone is MUCH smaller than a bass bugle used in a drum and bugle corps ensemble.

No. Your basic trombone is a tenor trombone, it's what everyone just calls a trombone. However, triggers can be added to make playing fast rhythms on a trombone easier. Triggers are also used to make it possible to reach lower notes that are difficult to play on a standard tenor trombone.
I would not consider the regular "tenor trombone" to be a scholarship instrument. However, instruments such as the alto and bass trombone are more likely choices as "scholarship instruments.". If you play tenor now, bass wouldn't be too difficult to learn. Euphonium is an alternative that is more like a tenor trombone.

No, not a full octave, but it does have a lower range than a tenor trombone.
The standard key for a tenor trombone is B-flat.
Tenor Trombone.
Obviously the smaller tenor trombone would have room to spare inside a bass bag.
The tenor trombone is typically played in the key of B-flat.
