The first castle were a defencestructure or a fortress. Monarch (royalty) or nobles were the usual residents of these castles.

This depended upon the locale. 'Local stone' would have been the first choice, if only because of availability. Remember, in those early days, even decent roads were lacking, as was a decent transport system. In Oamaru, limestone, or some of the local volcanic rock were the choice. In Christchurch an Lyttleton, the local varieties of volcanic were the obvious choice. In Central Otago, the choice is limited to schist rocks - a metamorphosed sedimentary rock.

The speed with which William the Conqueror committed to the creation of a castle at Chepstow is testament to its strategic importance.

It is likely that Prince William brought at least 2 prefabricated towers with him in 1066. This would explain the time frame of 2/3 weeks when he built 2 castles at Pevensey and Hastings.

Improvement: 2 weeks maybe 3 weeks tops!

No, it did not need a moat. The wide river Pembroke runs close beneath the castle on the north-east, north, west and south-west sides; originally an artificial dry ditch protected the south-east approach, leaving just a short southern portion of the outer wall without any form of ditch or moat.

This short section lay within the protective walls of Pembroke town, which any attacker would first have to breach; it was also protected by a very strong gate tower and four further circular towers.
