Along with every clarinet, the bass clarinet is a single reed instrument.
I think you are referring to the Bb clarinet which is single but there are acually 3 different types of clarinets. Bb=single Oboe=double Alto=single
No, it's not :) Reed instuments are instruments that you use a piece of wood (a 'reed') on the mouthpiece. You don't put an organ on your mouth, so therfore it isn't a reed instrument. Examples of a reed instrument are; saxophones, clarinet and bass clarinet.
All reed instruments are part of the woodwind instrument family, but there are some other woodwinds also that are not reed instruments - mainly the flute.

No, trumpets are brass not woodwind. The only instrument that looks like brass but is woodwind is the saxaphone, a single reed instrument. Trumpets use a mouthpiece with no reed.

When you play a saxophone, or any reed instrument, the reed vibrates, causing pulsing of the air you are breathing into the instrument. That causes the air in the instrument to also vibrate. Resonance determines frequency and timbre.
If you blow into the instrument or if it has a reed, it's a woodwind instrument
