There is no way of knowing this. There are no records to suggest that Shakespeare based any specific character on any one of his children. On the other hand, in a general way, all artists draw from their own experiences and transform then into art.

Because, no doubt, it is written by illiterates. When God is a proper name it should be capitalized like any other proper name. If you read real Shakespeare, you will find that the name God is always capitalized.
No, Shakespeare never wrote about St Thomas Becket or any other aspect of the 12th century.
The concept of a "real name" would mean nothing to Shakespeare or to any of his contemporaries. They did not care if you used a variant spelling of his name or the Latin form Guilliermus instead of the more common William. What Shakespeare would say is "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet." In other words, names aren't real. Nobody has a real name. Convention has settled on the form William Shakespeare. That doesn't make it more real than any other form though.
Actually Shakespeare did not "write about" any characters at all, except when other characters are talking about them. Shakespeare created his characters by writing words for them to say and actions for them to do. He also created an awful lot of characters; if you pick up a copy of any Shakespeare play whatsoever, and look at the beginning where it lists the characters in that play (the Dramatis Personae), you will see the names of more than seven characters, guaranteed. Twelfth Night, a comedy, has fourteen characters, Macbeth, a tragedy, has about 28, the First Part of Henry VI, a history, has 37. Another hint: the names of 23 of Shakespeare's characters appear in the titles of his plays.
None. Shakespeare did not "model his characters" on individuals. Since he borrowed most of his plots, the characters came with them. Shakespeare broadened the characters in the stories he found but rarely invented any. Many of his characters are stock characters or similar to them. (Maria in Twelfth Night, for example, is a soubrette) Falstaff if perhaps an exception. He appears to be entirely Shakespeare's character, and in making him Shakespeare drew no doubt on many real knights of his acquaintance. If Shakespeare had even heard of an artist who wandered from job to job around France and Italy a century earlier, his plays show no sign of such a character.
Shakespeare's history plays were based on real events.

People in Shakespeare's day had no concept of a "real name". Thus William Shakespeare's name is William Shakespeare even though the entry in the baptismal register reads "Guliemus filius Johannes Shakspere", or in English, "William the son of John Shakspere" The number of spelling variants for Shakespeare's last name is legendary, and as far as Shakespeare's contemporaries were concerned, none was more "real" than any other. Centuries of custom have hallowed the form "William Shakespeare". This is the standard spelling. You can call him "Guliemus Shakspere" if you like, but this is no more "real" than any other spelling.
We don't know. Shakespeare left no diaries, blogs or other outpourings of his personal views on any subject. We have no idea what he "thought about" any of the characters in his plays, or about any of his plays.It doesn't matter. Even if we knew what Shakespeare thought of the characters in the story it would not help us understand the story in the least. Nor would it be of any help to know which of his plays Shakespeare thought was the best. If he said his favourite play was Troilus and Cressida do you think people would stop wanting to watch, talk about and quote from Romeo and Juliet? Of course not.
