Orchestra

It is usually for an instrumental soloist.

In orchestral music, the main groups or families typically include strings, woodwinds, brass, and percussion. A group that does not fall into these categories could be electronic instruments or vocal ensembles, which are not traditionally considered part of the orchestral framework. Additionally, instruments like the guitar or piano, while sometimes included in contemporary orchestras, are not part of the main orchestral families.

It varies by ensemble, but there are too many types to list here.

No, they do not. The highest paid is the concertmaster, which is the 1st chair violin. Other 1st chair players make more than lower players, and some instruments are paid more than others. Wind players are more valuable, because the sections are smaller and everything is one player to a part.

Usually it's the principal/first chair violin, also known as the concertmaster.

It depends on the orchestra. There are orchestras designed for kids, such as the Chicago Symphony Youth Orchestra, but children can often join local orchestras if they are good enough. Children don't generally join large professional orchestras due to their ability as well as the work load, but there isn't always a specific age you have to be. Most people in large professional orchestras are well past college age, although there are exceptions such as Keith Buncke, who joined the CSO when he was 21. Obviously prodigies can perform with great orchestras at young ages so there isn't exactly an age limit.

Yes, though the field is still dominated by men.
