Generally, Synchro Summoning sends cards from the field to the Graveyard. There are some cards that allow you to use monsters in your hand as Synchro Material Monsters instead, such as Eccentric Boy.

No, a Synchro Summon is a kind of Special Summon.
Yes, you can, as a Synchro Summon is a special summon, you can perform a Normal Summon on the same turn as one or more Synchro Summons.
No, you do not 'tribute' the Synchro Material for a Synchro Summon. They are sent to the graveyard, not tributed. You can tribute an opponents synchro monster for "Assault Mode Activate!" to summon the assault mode monster from your deck.
Yes, Tokens have a level and can be used in a Synchro Summon.
No, Synchro material must be face-up.

Somewhat, yes. A synchro does not count for you Normal Summon for the turn. This means that you can do multiple Synchro summons in one turn. But if you are implying that a Synchro Summon can be usd for a card effect triggerd by or that needs a special summon, then a Synchro summon will not count. ^That's a bit vague. Synchro Summons will most certainly trigger/count towards effects that look for Special Summons - case in point, Bottomless Trap Hole, which can respond to a Synchro Summon because it is a kind of Special Summon. Special Summon is the default, and then you have special types, like Fusion Summon and Synchro Summon. Anything that looks for a Special Summon, will trigger from any of those. However if it only triggers from a Synchro Summon, then only a Synchro Summon will do, not a regular Special Summon.

Generally, the only way to Synchro Summon is by sending monsters from the field to the Graveyard. There may be some cards that allow you to Synchro Summon with cards from the hand, such as Eccentric Boy, or Special Summon a Synchro Monster with cards from the Graveyard, such as Blackwing - Vayu the Emblem of Honor.Eccentric BoyAttribute: WINDType: Spellcaster/Tuner/EffectLevel: 3ATK: 800DEF: 200When using this card as a Synchro Material Monster, the other Synchro Material Monsters is 1 monster in your hand.

If this card is in your Graveyard, you can remove from play this card plus 1 non-Tuner "Blackwing" monster in your Graveyard, and Special Summon 1 "Blackwing" Synchro Monster from your Extra Deck whose Level equals the total Levels of the removed monsters. The effect(s) of that Synchro Monster is negated.Note that this is treated as a SPECIAL SUMMON, not a Synchro Summon.

A Synchro Summon is a special summon, so the summoned monster can be in attack or defence mode, just must be face up.
No, it must be on your field, not in your hand, unless an effect specifically allows it, like Eccentric Boy.
yes, junk synchron only affects monsters on the field. synchro fusionist activates in the graveyard.
No, Synchro material must be face-up.
No, unless an effect specifically says otherwise, the Synchro Components must all be face-up on your side of the field. Eccentric Boy is a Tuner who when used as a Synchro Component, the other monster is one monster from your hand.
The levels of the Synchro Components must be exactly equal to the Synchro Monster you wish to summon. So for a Lv8 Synchro, you must send 8 level's worth, no more, no less.
