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.

It is a normal summon, so you must wait another turn to activate it's ability.
No, because it wasn't 'properly' special summoned. To be able to special summon a Ritual Monster from the graveyard, it has to be initially summoned by Ritual Summon. Ritual Foregone does not Ritual Summon.
A Gemini monster is a special kind of Effect monster that is treated as a Normal Monster with no effects when initially summoned to the field. At any time after this that you can perform another Normal Summon, you can choose to 'summon it again' (in the OCG, this is called a 'second summon') and it then becomes aneffect monster with the listed effects.So, Player A, in his main phase, Normal Summons Blazewing Butterfly. It is a Normal Monster, with no effects. In his next turn, he can use his turn's Normal Summon to 'Gemini Summon' the Blazewing Butterfly, which will turn it into an effect monster with the effects on the card. Anything that grants additional Normal Summons can speed this process up.The card doesn't leave the field at any point, you are performing the summon on a card that is already on the field, and it does not require tribute in the case of a high level Gemini monster. But since it's considered a Normal Summon, it can be negated, and summon-responsive cards like Torrential Tribute can be used against it. Because it never leaves the field, any cards equipped to it, will remain equipped, any bonuses, conditions and counters will be retained also.
When using metamorphosis the LV of the Fusion monster should be the same as the LV of the monster you are going to tribute.
A tribute summon is a form of Normal Summon. So that means you can only tribute summon OR normal summon ONCE per turn.
