a big quaver

A whole note is worth 4 beats, a half note is worth 2 beats, a quarter note is worth 1 beat, an eighth note is worth 1/2 a beat, a sixteenth note is worth 1/4 of a beat, a dotted half note is worth 3 beats, and a dotted quarter note is worth 1 and a 1/2 beats.
No - type refers to the name such as whole note, half note, etc. Value is how much it is worth such as 4 beats, 2 beats, etc
A whole note gets 4 beats A half note gets 2 beats A quarter note gets 1 beat An eighth note gets 1/2 a beat
That depends: a quarter note receives 1 beat in 4/4 time but a 1/2 of a beat in 2/4 time. it depends on what time signature the music has. in 4/4 time though: quarter note: one beat half note: 2 beats eighth note: 1/2 a beat whole note: 4 beats
It means that length of the note is increased by one half For example: a semibreve is a whole note, and in 4/4 time or 6/4 time (for example) is worth 4 beats. The addition of a dot means that an extra two beats is added to its duration. A minim is worth two beats. The addition of a dot means it is worth three beats. A crotchet is worth one beat. The addition of a dot means it is worth one and a half beats (or 6 quavers).

A minim worth two beats. The dot to a note worth half of the note value. Hence the dotted minim has three beats.

Half note
Assuming they are crotchet beats, the note worth three crotchet beats would be a dotted minim.
A half note.
A dot after a note increases the note by half of its original value. Therefore a dotted half note is equal to 3 beats (2+1) in 4/4 time. The second dot is equal to half the value of the FIRST DOT. The value of the first dot of a half note in 4/4 time is 1 beat. Therefore the second dot would be half of a beat, which is an eighth note. Now do the math to put it all together 2+1+1/2=3 1/2 beats. Another way to think of its duration is the equivalent, in 4/4 time, of 3 quarter notes and 1 eighth note.
a whole note equals 4 beats and takes up an entire measure in a 4/4 time signature
