Yes, a Special Summon of any kind does not count towards your limit of one Normal Summon or Set per turn. You can Special Summon as many times a s you want per turn.
No tribute summon is a normal summon. It's called tribute because you have to pay the cost of the summon by sending 1 (for LV5 or LV6) or 2 (LV7+) monsters from the field to the graveyard.So basically it's same as a normal summon for a lower level monster.
Gemini Monsters are normal or special summoned as normal, but when they arrive on the field, they are considered Normal Monsters and have no effects. The next time you are allowed to Normal Summon, you can 'second summon' them, ie, they count as being summoned again, even though they never leave the field. This turns them into effect monsters and switches on their effect. Note that if you are trying to 'second summon' a Lv5 or higher monster, no tribute is needed.
Yes, there is nothing inherently within the tributing or summoning rules which would stop you from tributing a monster you summoned the same turn you summoned it. Obviously, due to the regular summon rules, you can not Tribute Summon the monster you just Normal Summoned on the same turn; it would count as two Normal Summons. But if the first summon was a Special Summon, you had used "Double Summon", or wanted to tribute it for an effect like "Enemy Controller", then it's totally fine to tribute that monster for them.
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.
No, a Flip Summon is not a Normal Summon. You can perform only one Normal Summon per turn, but can do multiple Flip Summons in one turn, without affecting your ability to Normal Summon. If a card triggers only from Normal Summon, then it will not trigger from a Flip Summon, etc.
No, Synchro components are not 'tributed', they are just 'sent'. Monsters who can't be tributed can still be used as components for a Synchro Summon, and "Mask of Restrict" does not prevent the summon either.

well judging by you question, I'm assuming that your opponent has a monster on the field. if that's the case then yes, since cyber dragon's effect lets you special summon it-which doesn't count as a normal summon-which means you can still normal summon on the same turn.
A special summon is any summon that doesn't count as a normal summon, so you can special summon as many monsters as you wish per turn. But someone can't just special summon a monster by themselves. In order to special summon a monster, there must be a card that lets you do so. For example, the card Call of the Haunted lets you special summon a monster from your graveyard. Or, a monster that lets you special summon it in some way is a special summon. Most monsters that let you special summon it have you need to have destroy or remove from play cards. For example, a monster that needs you to remove from play cards is Dark Necrofear. Dark Necrofear can only be special summoned by removing three Fiend-type monsters from your graveyard. Or, there are monsters that can be special summoned when a condition is met. For example, Tragoedia can be special summoned when you take damage. Or, there are monsters that let you special summon monsters from your deck. An example is UFO Turtle. UFO Turtle can special summon any FIRE-attribute monster from your deck with 1500 ATK or less when it is destroyed by battle. Also, Fusion Summoning, Ritual Summoning, and Synchro Summoning all count as Special Summoning.

Well, you look at what the monster's lv is (count the stars), then if it's a lv 5 or 6, then you need to send 1 monster from your side of the field to the graveyard to tribute summon it. If it's 7 or more, then it's 2 monsters. Some of them can't be tribute summoned at all, and need certain conditions to be summoned. Just remember that a tribute summon is a normal summon.
