Unless there is another issue like drain location or cabinet design it is pretty much personal preference. The side closest to the dishwasher if you have one would probably be best for the dishwasher drain hook up
yes
Yes the outlet for the dishwasher should be on the same side as the disposal,so the disposal can handle the waste water from the dishwasher.

Either side that you want. Most would probably put it in the smaller side.
If it is a double sink, does the other side drain? Are you trying to fix the disposal because it does not come on or because it comes on but does not drain. If it comes on but does not drain and the other side does, it is probably just clogged with food. They make drain cleaners for disposals. If neither side drains, put the stopper in the disposal side, hold down on it and plunge the other side.
This will only happen if the drain pipe is clogged further down the line, near or in the wall. Possibly if the garbage disposal has been installed by an amateur, the 90 fitting going to the other tub has been installed the wrong way.
Most common is a center drain, but it can be at either side depending on where the drain goes into the wall. On the side closest to the dishwasher, the tail piece directly under the sink has a smaller tube in the side of it for the dishwasher drain.
If the sink/sink drain fitting connection, sink drain fitting/disposal connection, dishwasher/disposal connection, disposal/drain elbow connection are what are leaking they can either be tightened or have gaskets replaced or other sealing methods used. If the disposal is leaking elsewhere the disposal needs replacement.
