How many different types of cadences are there?

There are four different types of cadences: Authentic, Deceptive, Plagal, and Half.


When are pairs of chords not cadences?

Cadences only occur at the end of phrases, so a pair of chords in the middle of a phrase is not a cadence, it's just part of the progression.


What do all imperfect cadences have in common?

A movement from the tonic to the dominant seventh chord.


Was it Beethoven who drove his father nuts by coming home late and playing all but the last note of a song before going to bed so his father felt compelled to come down and hit that last note?

Never heard that story; it is quite amusing. My guess is that it is a myth. There is truth in the concept, though. In most of the traditional western musics, once a piece begins there is an arch of structure and tonality that leads to a final rest on the tonic. There is something unpleasant about deliberately not "getting to the point". This is in part what makes deceptive cadences so effective; we get something a little different from what our ears were expecting.


Can a Neapolitan sixth chord be used as a seventh chord and if so what is it called?

Yes. (More variants and substitutions of the N chord like n [Neapolitan minor chord], N-parallel etc. were also common in XIXth century music.) Although it does not occur in the Classical period, the Neapolitan major 7th chord (and its inversions) was widely used during the Romantic era. Two examples are Berlioz: Requiem/Kyrie (the 7th can still be regarded as a pedal point) and Hugo Wolf: Der verzweifelte Liebhaber (the chord can be considered as independent). In jazz, cadences like Dbmaj7-G7-C also occur fairly frequently. In this case, the Nmaj7 chord retains its subdominant function. The Neapolitan chord with a minor 7th is enharmonic to a leading-tone German sixth chord which loses its (secondary) subdominant function and, in C major, Db7(more precisely, its enharmonic counterpart)-C becomes a new dominant-tonic relationship (see Tritone substitution). Thereby, augmented sixth chords which are transposed up by a 4th and get resolved to the tonic are also called Neapolitan dominant chords (even if the augmented 6th is not a real 7th). Moreover, the presence of a _real_ Neapolitan dominant 7th chord (in which the 7th must be resolved downwards) involves flattening the tonic itself (the 7th will be Cb in C major/minor), greatly weakening the frames of tonality. Therefore, at least in classical music, such chords are mostly used for modulation (e.g. in the 3rd mvt. of Beethoven's Violin concert, where it occurs in its 3rd inversion), so, in this case, they also lose their original function. Therefore, most occurrences of Ndom7 should either be regarded as dominants (in cadences like Db7 C7 in jazz and popular music) and not subdominants, or its inversions should be "flipped" enharmonically if you do not want to get out of key. However, in popular music, there are also quite a few cadences used for modulation which can be interpreted by assuming that they include something like a Ndom7 (or even a n7 minor 7th chord). Example: C A79b D-7 Gb/Ab Db leads from C major to Db major. In this case, D-7 is the n7 in Db.
