Originally, pinball machines didn't have flippers (the things at the bottom of the machine that hit the ball). Instead, you would launch a ball into a playfield full of pins and hope for it to land in a hole (like plinko). These pins made the game called "Pinball".
The earliest pinball machines were a wooden playfeild with multiple holes and pins in the board. A ball was dropped at one end and it would bounce on the pins and hopefully fall in the higher scoring holes. This was before electronics, bumpers and flippers.

It depends on the size of the pinball machine :P
The Pokemon Pinball games were only for the GBA.
It depends on the condition of the machine both mechanically and cosmetically. According to the Mr Pinball Pinball List & Price Guide 2008 Edition it is worth approximately $550.
No. It can't be called as pinball game if there's no parts in it.

Most likely you're thinking of an arcade. But they have pinball at bowling alleys, truck stops and other places too.
Yes and there are only a few left
There are a couple of websites where someone can play Pinball in a browser. The best place to check out would have to be the website called The Pinball Zone.
I don't think you can necessarily " Cheat " on the Windows Pinball. But I think that you can use a program called Cheat Engine to change your score, etc. But no promises that it will be that score in the High scores.
