Keeping a small spot on TLC will allow for greater resolution between the spots allowing for more accurate Rf calculations and solvent separation/preparation if used to isolate a compound in a mixture.
The chromatogram in paper chromatography is just the paper itself. You can look at the paper and see the dots that have risen due to the solvent. The appearance is just simply a piece of paper with dots that have risen from the baseline to a certain spot on the paper. see related link below for more info
Double-spotting chromatography paper helps ensure that the substance being analyzed is evenly distributed across the paper to enhance separation and analysis. It can also be used as a reference spot to track the movement of the solvent front during the chromatography process.
Tailing in chromatography refers to a peak shape that has a gradual slope on the downside of the peak, resembling a tail. This can be caused by interactions between the analyte and the stationary phase, leading to slower elution. Tailing peaks can affect resolution and accuracy of the analysis.
The end of the paper nearest the spot is allowed to be in contact with a suitable solvent, WITHOUT immersing the spot itself. If the spots were immersed they would dissolve in the solvent and be pulled down into the solvent itself.
It depends what sort of solution and what sort of chromatography. Assuming it's something simple like ink you'd usually use a piece of paper or filter paper. You'd apply a spot of your analyte (the solution being analysed) at a short distance from the bottom of the paper, then put the paper in a beaker or similar container with a small amount of ethanol, water or another solvent in the bottom. Ensure that the solvent does not go above the level of the spot of analyte. The solvent will be drawn up through the paper by capillary action, and will draw the different parts of the analyte with it and deposit them at different distances from the initial spot. Stop the experiment by removing the paper from the beaker once the solvent front (the horizontal line where the highest wet part of the paper is) reaches the top of the paper.

Rf is nothing but retardation factor in paper chromatography.Rf= distance spot traveled/distance solvent traveled

When the paper is placed under a magnifying lens, the lens focuses light onto a small spot, raising the temperature. This concentrated heat causes the paper to reach its ignition point, leading to combustion and burning of the paper.
The pigment spot on chromatography paper should not be submerged in solvent because it will result in spreading and mixing of the pigments, making it difficult to distinguish them. Instead, the solvent should be allowed to slowly travel up the paper by capillary action, separating the pigments based on their solubility and mobility.
One common way to separate substances in red ink is through chromatography. By applying a solvent to the ink and allowing it to travel up a specialized paper, different components in the ink will separate based on their solubility. This technique can reveal the individual components that make up the red ink.

That is correct. Every chemical substance travels at its own speed when diffusing through paper, and so every substance will wind up at its own location on the paper or plate as the case may be.
Dyes and inks are separated using a method called chromatography. Basically you put a dot of ink or the dye you to separate on a piece of chromatography paper and stand it up-right. The ink spot or dye will spread across the paper and separate into different colours.
To separate a mixture of pigments from an ink cartridge, you can use chromatography, a technique that exploits the different solubilities of the pigments. Start by dissolving the ink in a suitable solvent, then apply a small spot of the solution onto chromatography paper. When the paper is placed in a solvent (like water or alcohol), different pigments will travel at different rates, allowing them to be separated. After the solvent has moved up the paper, you can analyze the distinct spots corresponding to various pigments.
