No. It won't work on XP SP2 or anything higher. It will work with XP SP1 however.
There are no particular steps needed. Most games will either: A. Work fine out of the box B. Work by selecting "Windows 95" in the Compatibility tab of the Properties box C. Not run at all. Obviously, you don't need to do anything for A, and if B doesn't work, then C must be true, and there's nothing you can do about it.
Getting old Windows XP games to work on Windows Vista can be a bit tricky. Sometimes they'll run smoothly, but other times you might face issues. One thing you can try is running the game in compatibility mode for an older version of Windows. If you want to enjoy some retro gaming without the hassle, check out Nostra Games!

Games that are written specifically for Windows Vista will not work on Windows XP. Most games are written so that they will work on both.
Of course. It wouldn't be a "Windows XP game" otherwise.
Most will, but Windows 2000 did not focus as heavily on backwards-compatibility as Windows XP does, and a few games may work improperly or require Administrator privileges.
Do you mean the games say "compatible with windows 98?" and you have Windows XP? Games are backwards compatible. Meaning, if the games say "windows 98", windows 95 is ok (anything before windows 98 will work). But it is not forward compatible--Windows 2000, windows xp, etc. will not work. does this answer?
Only games that worked in Windows Vista will work for Windows 7. Unless, they are games such as The Sims or SimCity.
No, they can't. It's even opposite. Most of resource demanding programs design for Windows XP only will not work with Windows 7.
Some, check out the system requirements for that game
yes most of the games running in win xp will work fine with win 7. Win 7 also has a new feature called the XP Mode where we can run XP from within win 7. It is a cool feature.
Yes
It does support some of them, really simple ones. If you a game uses extensive graphics most likely you will have to look for a patch supporting Seven.
yes you do, but there are hacks to make it work on XP
Unfortunately, there is no way to download these old games onto Windows 7.
