It all depends on the size and brand of the canvas. I usually buy mine at Michael's or Hobby Lobby and the medium sized ones are on sale for approximately 12 dollars. However, the huge canvases can cost up to 150 dollars.

Too many variables. What size canvas? Is this for a painting I assume? What location? What style of stretch?
I would stretch 2 canvases separately and then attach them back-to-back, then maybe trim the edges for a finished look. If you need it thinner stretch onto both sides of stretcher bars and trim the second canvas to not overlap the front of the other side, then again, trim for a finished look - maybe hot glue a nice ribbon that matches your decor?
A canvas print is a picture that is printed onto a piece of canvas. It forces the image to stretch, and gives it an almost painted-picture look in a way. It's very professional looking when done correctly.
No, you cannot. The canvas is stretched ever so slightly around a frame and then a sealing agent is used, gesso. This insures that the paint stays on the surface of the canvas, as opposed to soaking it up. The paint will most likely crack and possibly flake off if the canvas is stretched after painting.
