Answer 2

Halley's comet does not have tails, but instead has a coma, which is a cloud of gas and dust surrounding the nucleus of the comet. When the comet approaches the Sun, this coma is illuminated, creating a visible tail due to the solar wind.

Answer 3

It varies from zero, during most of the comet's 75-year orbit, to several million

miles during the relatively short time of a few months or so when the comet is

near the sun.

Craters on Halley's Comet? None that we know of, although there was some sort of explosion on the comet about 2 years after its last pass. We'll have to wait and see.
