Short answer is yes. If you are asking if it provides some sort of advantage over other activities of same commitment level, it does not. Colleges value all activities, especially ones that require commitment and striving towards a goal -- the same characteristics that would help you doing well in college. Colleges are smart enough to know how much commitment different sports at different levels (recreational, travel, JV, varsity, etc) require and judge accordingly. Remember, colleges rather see a few activities with depth of commitment rather than 10 activities.
Of course, if you are good enough to play the sport at the collegiate level, your chances are much better than someone else who's credentials are equivalent to yours without the sport.
There is no age limit for participating in college athletics. Typically, once a student begins their college education they have 5 years of eligibility to play a college sport, for no more than 4 years total.
Of course, other limitations exist, such as GPA requirements, minimum credit hour requirements, etc.

If your school moves up a division, no, the players do not sit for a year. The school is placed on a one-year probation period, after which they are full members of Division I.
If, however, a player transfers schools, the NCAA requires that the player sits for a period of one year before being added to the active roster. This is regardless of divisions, teams, conferences, etc.
Yes, it's actually very common in baseball. Fortunately, though, MLB teams are starting to lean towards college players more than high school players.
You're eligible for the MLB draft three times (basically): 1. After your senior year of high school. 2. After your junior year of college. I actually know someone who was drafted after their junior year of college, then went to school for the next two fall semesters to finish his degree. If you're drafted after your junior year, you have until the next year's draft to sign, otherwise you're put back in the draft, and that team no longer owns you (but they can draft you again). 3. After your senior year of college.
Other sports such as basketball and football (American) don't allow this, though athletes can leave college early if their prospects are very high.

Apparently at one point they were going to put down some new AstroTurf, and it was going to cost $750,000. the AD thought it was a shame to spend that much money when no one would even notice that anything had changed. So, since everyone already knew that the field was going to be AstroTurf and not real grass anyways, they decided to make the turf blue, that way people would notice that the field was new.
