Romeo was in Mantua at the time, because he was had to flee Verona after he was banished for fighting and killing Tybalt it the street. Friar Laurence wasn't the one who was sent to find Romeo though, Friar John was, but he was detained and the letter never reached Romeo.
When Romeo flees to Friar Lawrence's cell after Tybalt's death, and finds out that he has been banished from Verona, the Friar counsels him to move to Mantua.
"God pardon sin! Wast thou with Rosaline?"
The best answer i have been able to find is that he is good with herbs.
No, he only did so after he thought Juliet had been killed.
Juliet will return to Friar Lawrence's cell to ask for a way to reunite her with Romeo after he has been banished. It's like they are to be remarried.
There are very few plans for the wedding of Romeo and Juliet - they get married in secret (only Friar Laurence and the Nurse know), so there can be no big event. The only real 'plan' is that the wedding will take place when Juliet visits Friar Laurence to give her confession.

Friar Laurence questions Romeo's newfound love for Juliet because Romeo had recently been in love with another woman, Rosaline, and his affections seemed to change very quickly. The Friar was concerned that Romeo was acting impulsively and not genuinely in love.

Friar Laurence tells Romeo to be grateful that he is still alive and has not been sentenced to death by the Prince for killing Tybalt. He reminds Romeo that there is hope for the future and urges him to see his banishment as a mercy rather than a curse.

If Friar Laurence had told Lord Capulet about Romeo and Juliet's intention to marry, Lord Capulet may have been angered and refused to allow the marriage, leading to potential conflict between the families. Additionally, the rushed decision to have the secret marriage may not have been made, potentially preventing the tragic events that followed.
The friar guesses that Romeo has been cavorting and canoodling with Rosaline.
Friar Lawrence thinks that Romeo has been with Rosaline instead of with Juliet because he doesn't know yet that Romeo has fallen for Juliet and does not love Rosaline any more. Romeo and Rosaline used to be lovers, but now that Romeo has met Juliet, he doen't love Rosaline any longer. Therefore, he assumes that Romeo has been with Rosaline for the night because he doesn't know that they are not in love any more.
Friar Laurence at first believes Romeo is still pining over Rosaline, a woman who does not return Romeo's love because she says she has taken a vow of chastity (some think this means she has decided to become a nun). In fact, Romeo has completely forgotten about Rosaline and is now in love with Juliet, but since Juliet is the daughter of his father's enemy (and Rosaline was only his neice), this poses a major problem for Romeo.
If Friar John has not yet been to Mantua, Romeo does not know that he is supposed to come back to Verona and get Juliet out of the tomb. Of course, he would not know that anyway because Friar Laurence sent his message to Friar John at a time when he thought Juliet would take the potion on Wednesday night, when in fact she took it Tuesday night. So, even if Romeo had got Friar John's message, he still would have been a day too late, by which time Juliet would have suffocated. Why the Friar did not spend the entire night of Wednesday/Thursday at the tomb with an iron crow is impossible to understand.
