Yes, this is legal. You have two main phases, one either side of the battle phase, there is no rule that says a monster that attacks can't be tributed, or that attacking stops you summoning. You can attack with a monster, then tribute it for a tribute summon in main phase 2.
Yes, you can attack with the Tribute Summoned monster unless a card effect tells it not to or it is after the Battle Phase.
As long as you are Special Summoning before, or during the Battle Phase, then yes, that monster can attack.
Yes, of course you can. You can tribute it for the cost of an effect, or in main phase 2, for a Tribute Summon.
No, a Tribute Summon follows the same position rules as a Normal Summon, so a monster you Tribute Summon is either face-up attack or Tribute Set into face-down defense.

You can attack with a monster and then tribute it in the same turn, yes. Obviously if you tribute it first, then it can't attack unless you've got a way to bring it back to the field.
Yes, you can attack with the Tribute Summoned monster unless a card effect tells it not to or it is after the Battle Phase.
Tribute is only needed for the monster's Normal Summon or Set (or Special Summon in special cases). Flip Summoning does not require any tribute at all, regardless of what monster it is.
As long as you are Special Summoning before, or during the Battle Phase, then yes, that monster can attack.
Taken from the Official English Rulebook: ...However, for Monsters that are Level 5 or higher, you must Tribute at least 1 monster you control before the Normal Summon. This is called a Tribute Summon. Monsters that are Level 5 or 6 require 1 Tribute and Monsters that are Level 7 or higher require 2 Tributes. Monsters that are Tributed are sent to the Graveyard and the "Tribute Monster" you are Summoning is played in face-up Attack position or face-down Defense position (a.k.a. a "Set").
No, Advance Force lets you Tribute Summon a Lv7 or higher monster. Tribute Summoning is a form of Normal Summoning, so the summoned monster is one from your hand. It in no way allows you to start pulling monsters from the Extra Deck - it can't special summon at all.
Yes, it can.
Yes, of course you can. You can tribute it for the cost of an effect, or in main phase 2, for a Tribute Summon.
In the Yu-Gi-Oh card game, 'life points' is the number given to each player at the beginning of a duel. typically each player will start with 8000, and subtract or add to that amount from there after. If a monster attacks directly, its attack is subtracted directly from the opposing players life points; if a monster battles another, the one with higher attack will remain, and the player whose monster was destroyed will take the difference of attack points to their life points, unless one monster is in defense position, wherein no damage is inflicted unless the attacking monster's attack is less than the defending monster's defense. In this case, the attacking player would take the difference in the attacking monster's attack and the defending monster's defense. The stars you're referring to are the level of the monster. A monster with 3 stars is level 3; 5 is level 5; 8 is level 8. These are used in tribute summoning monsters, synchro summoning monsters, and XYZ summoning monsters, and other special circumstances.
It depends on the level. If it is 4 stars or under, then no. If it is 5-6 stars, then you need to tribute 1 monster. If it is 7-12 stars, you need to tribute 2 monsters. Many high level monsters cannot be tribute summoned though and will have their own summoning text.
Tribute summons are performed in the main phases, as are synchro summons. So if you have an attack phase and attack with one monster, the only way you can use it as tribute for a tribute summon (or send it for a synchro summon) is to enter Main Phase 2. If you do this, then you won't be able to declare an attack with the new monster since you have left the battle phase. The only thing you could do really is use an effect that can Special summon while you are still in the battle phase.
