Pretty much every theater showing silent films had an instrument, usually a piano, playing music during each film. Usually the player would just improvise music based on what appeared on the screen, sometimes a film maker would write music for the player to play. As one studio exec noted, there never was a truly "silent" film.
Because doing the latter meant more control over (and money from) his films, Chaplin often wrote musical scores for the films he directed, produced, starred in, and wrote the screenplay for.

Yes
Since silent films had no sound, the cards were used for the dialogue. If you have some original cards now, you might consider auctioning them. A collector might be interested, especially if the film they came from can be verified.
In the same way as any other film, but with no sound.

Yes, but they were giving way to 'talkies'. Charles Chaplin made his last silent film, "Modern Times" in 1936. By then most films had sound.
Talkies is what the people of the early 1930s called the sound films, as opposed to silent films."Talkies" is a now-obsolete term for moving pictures that have a sound track. Originally, moving pictures (movies) were silent. When sound was added, they were called "talkies." Since sound is now an essentially universal characteristic of motion pictures, there is no longer a need to distinguish films with sound from other films, so the word has fallen out of use.

Either 46 or 47 films - one 10-minute short film was lost. Blackmail (1929) had two versions, one with sound and one silent. There were also 2 French propaganda films for World War 2 released with sound.
The process for color film had not been invented yet. A few silent films had scenes where the frames were hand colored but that was a very tedius method.
