The law states you cannot collect unemployment if you were fired for cause, doesn't matter if it was a minor infraction or major one.

Retirement age does not come into the question, but rather whether the reason was justified and what your work history is that would make you eligible for unemployment benefits.

Absolutely. It is called your "Retirement Pension". You cannot collect "unemployment insurance" monies if you are retired.

As long as you can qualify for each of the benefits individually, you can collect both at the same time. They do not interfere with each other at all. Any other retirement programs would be handled by offsetting unemployment benefits by the employer paid portion of retirements on a weekly basis.

You can, but unemployment will deduct the amount from your unemployment benefits
This would depend on your state's definition of "quitting for justifiable purposes". Generally, states consider retirement as a non-qualifying reason to obtain unemployment benefits. Check with your own state's unemployment office for clarification.
Your spouse cannot collect benefits from your work record until you are collecting your benefits, so if you do not collect until your full retirement age, she cannot collect anything either.
