Answer taken from the Official English Rulebook: After you've announced your attacking monster and the attack target monster during a Battle Step, the attack target might be removed from the field, or a new monster may be played onto the opponent's side of the field before the Damage Step, due to a card's effect. This causes a "Replay." When this occurs, you can choose to attack with the same monster again, or choose to attack with a different monster, or choose not to attack at all. Note that if you attack with a different monster, the first monster is still considered to have declared an attack, and it cannot attack again this turn.

You can tribute a special summoned monster, yes.
um, yeah... all monster can be normal summoned, flip summoned, special summoned etc unless specified otherwise. eg, ancient gear golem says "this card cannot be special summoned".
yes
A monster's special summon text only applies while it is in your hand. If a monster says it can 'only be' special summoned by a certain method, then assuming you do summon it properly, and it is then destroyed, then you are allowed to use Monster Reborn and do not have to pay any additional costs. If the above monster was simply discarded from hand by something else, then it can not be special summoned by Monster Reborn. If it says 'cannot be special summoned except by..' then it can't be brought back with Monster Reborn even if it was properly special summoned first.
Yes. It is a 'can only be special summoned by' monster, which can be brought back as long as it was properly special summoned originally. It is monsters who say "cannot be special summoned except by.." that cannot ever be brought back with cards like Monster Reborn.
