It prevents the brass from tarnishing, and keeps it shiny.
Yes, if there is too much lacquer used on a cello then it would produce a more dull sound. Less lacquer means a brighter sound. Some people argue that the type of lacquer can change the sound, but only in a very, very minute way.
Pocket trumpets, like normal trumpets, are most often keyed in Bb, but this doesn't mean that all pocket trumpets are in Bb.
In general, it doesn't make any real difference other than the looks, and the polishing cloth. Unless you are a top level pro, I doubt you can tell the difference in playing between the two (and the pros argue whether or not even they can).

Yes, they can be stripped clean and then polished (raw brass), or a new coat of lacquer or other finish can be applied.

It is a thin layer of a metal which is silver in color that to make something look better. For instance many Trumpets have a silver or gold plating on them so they don't look ugly like the brass actually would. The silver on trumpets is actually usually nickel (and the gold is usually lacquer).
Trumpets are most often made out of brass coated in a shiny lacquer top coat. Some instruments may be made or coated in silver to provide a different kind of tone.

Generally speaking, you don't brush lacquer....it has to be sprayed. With that being said there are probably some products that you can brush on if you feel that you must. You would want to use either a china bristle brush, or a "natural" brush. Please know that when you use lacquer thinner to clean your brushes, it may soften the glue that bonds the bristles to the handle. I would use a polyurethane or urethane if you need to apply it by brush. You can put either on top of lacquer if you want to (but you cannot put a lacquer on top of the poly).
