They often do both, though not at the same time.
No, most veterinarian will split their time about 60% communicating with their clients (working with people) and 40% of their time working with their patients (the animals). There is very little mechanical work done by veterinarians; some experienced veterinarians that were trained prior to about 1975 can actually do the majority of their work with a stethoscope and their hands.
Both - some veterinarians work in a clinic (inside) while other veterinarians have an ambulatory clinic and work on the farm (outside).
Veterinary medicine is both a mental and physical practice. Veterinarians use touch, palpation and hands-on skills to acquire information about a patient. Veterinarians then think critically about this information to determine the most likely disease process and how to either confirm or rule out those diagnoses.

Veterinarians are typically very competent at their chosen aspect of practice for several reasons. First, veterinarians in general are passionate about their work - it is a vocation, not just a job. Second, veterinarians are highly trained individuals who go through at least seven years of training before starting to work. They also continuously retrain and upgrade their skills through continuing education classes, which are mandated to renew their license to practice. Third, veterinarians tend to be consciencious people who understand that every patient in their hands is an opportunity to do something a little better than last time.
Private practice veterinarians work as part of a team of people that includes vet techs, vet assistants, receptionists and kennel workers. Also, most veterinarians in the US practice in a multiple-doctor practice, so they also work with other veterinarians.

Yes, some veterinarians do work part time. This has become slightly more popular as the demographics of working veterinarians shifts towards being more heavily female - women veterinarians are more likely to want to work part time and trade a smaller paycheck for more time for family and home. This option is also being used by veterinarians with injuries/illnesses that make it difficult for them to work a full day but they aren't mentally, emotionally, or financially ready to retire yet.
Most veterinarians work in private practice clinics around the world, treating privately owned animals. However, some work in zoos and wildlife parks, others work in the pharmaceutical industry, there are veterinarians in the military and some that work in the government. In many cases, when a veterinarian is not in private practice, their job title does not include "veterinarian", so it can be hard to figure out where the veterinarians are and what they are doing.
