The sink drain is plugged,or you have the dishwasher hose hooked up in wrong place.
The pump in the dishwasher should keep the water from getting into it.
Partially clogged drain line.
Probably not, depends on where the clog is at and how the dishwasher drain is connected. I wouldn't chance it, but the worst that will happen is the sink will fill with the water from the dishwasher.
An "AERATOR" is the part on the end of your faucet that the water comes out from. It usually holds a screen and water saver in place.

Possibly unscrew your aerator at the end of the spout and see if the screen is clogged. Blow it out and rescrew the aerator on. If that isn't the problem, sometimes things get caught in the spout. Unscrew the spout and turn the water on. If there is water coming from there and not out the spout when it is hooked up, the spout is plugged. If no water coming out when the spout is off, rehook spout and change cartridges or stems in the faucet AFTER shutting the water off. Depends on the brand of faucet, check the instructions for the brand and model. Also your kitchen dishwasher and sinks are run on seperate valves. The dishwasher valve is usually under the sinks (causing the water to go to the dishwasher first) the valve that was installed for the sink (before the dishwasher) may be bad too.
Our 15 year old GE dishwasher is leaking water from under the unit in the wash cycle and also when it drains. Could this be a bad pump or a bad hose?
Undo the aerator at the end of the spout and clean out the screen of the aerator. It is probably plugged up. Run the water without the aerator attached. If you have full pressure, the plugged aerator is the problem. If you do not have full pressure without the aerator on the spout, it could be plugged in the spout. Usually the aerator plugged. Cheers
Mineral deposits; most are formed in your pipes when water is not flowing. The aerator can be removed and cleaned extending the life of the aerator. The aerator will eventually deteriorate and should be replaced. Depending on your water supply and the pipes, the minerals can be several different colors.
Yes, aerator and plants are important in the aquarium to add oxygen in the water for the animals there in.
Unscrew the aerator from the end of the faucet where the water comes out and clean the screen. Sediment build up slows the flow.
A clogged aerator on the end of the faucet would cause the water flow to decrease in that faucet.
