Gneiss is a banded metamorphic rock.
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.
Yes. A prime example is that granite can undergo metamorphism and become gneiss.

It is a Sedimentary rock
Para-gneiss is a metamorphic rock derived from pre-existing sedimentary or igneous rocks, while orthogneiss is a metamorphic rock derived from the metamorphism of igneous rocks only. Orthogneiss typically has a more uniform texture and mineral composition compared to para-gneiss. Additionally, orthogneiss usually contains higher amounts of feldspar and other mineral grains that are indicative of its igneous origin.

It is a Metamorphic rock
All rock types, igneous, sedimentary, and even metamorphic can be altered to new metamorphic rock.
A gneiss is a metamorphic rock. Metamorphic rocks are created by the alteration of rocks by heat and pressure. Therefore, a gneiss may be created from an igneous rock in which case it would be called an orthogneiss.
No, gneiss is metamorphic.
No. Gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
Granite is an igneous rock and gneiss is a metamorphic rock.
Shale is a sedimentary rock, not a metamorphic rock.
No, igneous rock can undergo metamorphism without becoming sedimentary rock first. Metamorphism can occur in any rock type (igneous, sedimentary, or metamorphic) when exposed to high temperature and pressure, leading to the formation of new minerals and textures.
