You are correct, it is called a stinger.[1]

Actually, stinger is the colloquial term. It is more properly called a sting. (See the related link)
No. After a bee has stung its victim, when it pulls away the barbed stinger pulls out of the bee's body together with with the venom sac and the associated structures. The bee dies from its injuries.
The barb that is on a bee's stinger is like a razor blade. This will cause the stinger to remain locked into the skin when projected.
Well, the difference is that the worker bees (female) and the queen bee have stingers, as the drones (male) do not. So, if a bee has a stinger, it is a female, and if it doesn't have a stinger, it is a male. Hope I helped! :)
No, a bee's stinger is not the sharpest thing in the world. It is actually more specialized for piercing skin and injecting venom rather than being sharp like a blade.
A bees stinger has a hook on the end, like a fish hook, so when the bee tries to get away after stinging someone it actually pulls the stinger and venom gland out of its body, mortally wounding the bee. A person should scrape the stinger out rather than trying to pinch it and pull it out, which pushes more venom in. The amount of reaction one has from a sting is entirely up to that persons body. It can range from a mild sting and itch to a full blown allergic reaction that closes the persons throat and can cause death.

You don't. Unlike a honey bee, a wasp withdraws its stinger after stinging and a honey bee leaves its stinger stuck in your skin.
It has a stinger to jab at it's enemies. The problem with the stinger, is that if the bee stabs someone with it, the stinger attaches itself to the enemy and is torn from the bee's backside, which results in the death of the bee.
