To tribute a card, you must send it from your own side of the field, to your graveyard. If cards like Macro Cosmos are in play, then the tributed card goes out of play - Macro Cosmos does not prevent you from tributing.
You must have a 'reason' to tribute the card, either for the summon of a higher level monster, or the activation of another card, etc. You cannot tribute something for no reason, nor can you tribute a card you do not control unless specifically directed to by something like Soul Exchange.
Lastly, tribute is from the field, unless stated otherwise, ie, Ritual Summons.

A tribute summon is a form of Normal Summon. So that means you can only tribute summon OR normal summon ONCE per turn.
You can, only if something specifically says you can. Tribute for most Ritual Spell Cards can come from hand. But if the card doesn't specify, the tribute must come from your side of the field.
'Sacrifice' doesn't appear anywhere in the English version of the game, it is a Magic the Gathering term here. But it is used in the Japanese version of the game, and is indeed the same thing as a Tribute.
Yes, in the yugioh card game you can advance summon (this is also called tribute summon or sacrifice summoning).
