Unless stated otherwise (Plaguespreader Zombie for example) a monster's special summon is done from hand only. Lava Golem must be in your hand, for you to be able to special summon it using the listed text on the card.
In either of your own main phases, you can special summon lava golem. Rather than offering the cost from your own side of the field, Lava Golem says to use the opponent's monsters. So you send the opponent's two monsters to the graveyard and place Lava Golem on their side of the field. Either player can try to negate it, in which case it will be destroyed and go to your graveyard.
Ancient gear golem is easiest summoned using geartown which allows you to summon ancient gear monsters with one less tribute, ergo, you only need one monster to tribute to summon ancient gear golem. Ancient gear golem cannot be special summoned which make things difficult. Cards such as spell gear and ultimate ancient gear golem can special summon ancient gear golem from the deck and hand, or graveyard, respectively, but they require much more cost.
Lava Golem's own special summon effect can only special summon itself to the opponent's side of the field. Like other 'can only be special summoned by..' monsters, if you summon it correctly, and it is then destroyed, it can be brought back to the field by cards like Monster Reborn. In Lava Golem's case, it will be special summoned to your side of the field if you do this.
cards that specifically state that they cannot be special summoned from the graveyard, like ancient gear golem, or the very limited card: Tyler the great warrior (only one in the world) also an elemental hero fusion
Yes. Since you can't special summon, you can't even begin to initiate any kind of special summon. That means assuming a special summon card has a cost of tributing/banishing one monster, you could not use Kristya as that cost. Even if the summon does not use the chain, it is still not possible to tribute/banish Kristya. So the opponent could not tribute your Kristya for his Lava Golem.

monster reborn can bring back any monster from the grave unless the monster u want from the grave says it "can not be special summoned from the graveyard" or says "this card can not be special summoned"

Lava Golem's Special Summon does not start a chain, so you cannot chain Epidemic Virus when it is tributing the monsters. You must use it before it would be Summoned or the intended target for Virus probably would not be there for it use.
You can only ever tribute monsters that are on your side of the field, unless a card specifically lets you. Cards like this are Soul Exchange, and Lava Golem.

No. While Lava Golem's tribute cost comes from the opponent's side of the field, it still follows all other rules for special summoning, in that unless specifically stated otherwise or performed by a quick effect, it can only be done in your own main phases.
You can, actually! You can simply spawn Ocelots and Horses, along with wolves and sheep with spawn eggs. But, if you want to get technical, the general code for summoning mobs is /summon (mob name) ~ ~ ~ But, some mobs, like Mooshrooms, Ocelots, and Horses seem to be unable to be spawned. This is because in the coding of the game, the have slightly different names, which is why people say they are unable to spawn them. So, an Ocelot should be /summon ozelot And, a horse should be /summon entityhorse And here's a few extra: to summon a wither: /summon witherboss to summon a snow golem: /summon snowman to summon an iron golem: /summon villagergolem to summon a baby zombie: /summon Zombie ~ ~ ~ {IsBaby:1} to summon a baby villager zombie: /summon Zombie ~ ~ ~ {IsBaby:1,IsVillager:1} to summon a Magma Cube: /summon LavaSlime to summon a Zombie Pigman: /summon PigZombie The other mobs are pretty straightforward to spawn. (This is as of 1.8)
One. But you can make a look-a-like with an iron golem. Simply put the nv_state: Shadowmaster, on a dagger or whatever. when you use it to summon the iron golem, it will appear as a shadowmaster.
Yes. An opponent's Obelisk or Ra can be tributed as cost for your Lava Golem. It is not an effect, nor does it target, which is why Obelisk is not protected from it. Ra has no protections anyway apart from during his summon.
