Yes as long as you use an approved splice, such as a wire-nut.
bare copper is pure copper, while tinned copper is having light coating of Tin over it, preferred where soldering phenomenon is req. while the bare copper is good conductor then tinned copper.
You would use a set of wire strippers made for stranded wire and proper size. If the strippers are made for stranded and solid make sure you use the size identifications for stranded not solid!
Wire can be fabricated in two different forms. Solid wire refers to a single wire, while stranded wire is a wire which is made up of more than one single solid wire twisted together. A stranded wire is much more flexible, and less subject to breaking from flexing than a stranded wire of the same size.
A #12 copper wire with an insulation rating of 60, 75 or 90 degrees C is rated at 20 amps. This holds true whether it is solid or stranded.
Stranded wire is the choice as you have tight bends and a short run, solid wire isn't very good in this format.
no
Splice uses stranded wires while joint uses solid wire.
You go to the NEC and look at the chart for developed length and the ambient temperature and the load factor and if it solid or stranded wire as stranded allows for more voltage

It would of course depend on the specific application. Current tends to travel on the surface of a conductor and a stranded conductor has more surface area and thus offers less resistance to the current. Stranded wire also bends a bit easier than the corresponding size solid wire.
The most common way of making an electrical connection is with a device called a wire nut. Solid wire connections should be twisted together with a pair of pliers before installing the wire nut to hold the splice tight. Twisting stranded wire together with a pair of pliers does not allow the wire nut to grip the wires as tight as it should. Stranded wire should be held together side by side (in parallel) and let the wire nut twist the wires together to make a solid splice connection.

Flexibility is the main advantage of stranded wires; however for high frequency AC (i.e. radio frequencies), stranded wires increase the surface area, minimizing the skin effect (i.e. high frequency current avoiding the core of a wire, increasing its resistance at that frequency). This is not an issue at typical power frequencies (e.g. 60Hz) as the skin effect is still insignificant at those frequencies.

No. Copper wire is a solid
