If Minecraft hasn't updated for you, you may have to force an update. When Minecraft opens, check the force update option and then log in. That should make Minecraft update for you.
If you already have 1.6.1 you just click yes to the new update and it will download the update. If you don't have it already just go to the Minecraft website and down load the launcher and it will update that way.
Between August and September by the looks of it
February 22 2012. If this is for the new Minecraft update
Minecraft PE 0.9.0 update is the best as it has new updates that are better than before.
Nothing has been confirmed about the next 1.11 update to Minecraft. It will be revealed at Minecon in September.
No you don't but to get new awesome things you do.
Minecraft for xbox360 is still in Alpha mode, but i think mojang is waiting for next minecraft update for xbox to be updated. not sure though
There is no planned update for Easter. If an update is sent out it will likely just be a patch.

The latest upgrade is handled differently from usual - you need to download the new 1.6.1 launcher from the Minecraft website, which will perform the update.
It will be out at the end of April. The new update will have redstone, Enderman, and buckets.
