YES OF COURSE!! I have had SEVERAL even YOUNGER than 12! It is normal, nothing out of the usual. The important thing to remember, though, is to drink lots of water and cranberry juice... it ALWAYS helped me every time.

Yes, females of any age can get it, even babies. Yeast infections are caused by heat and sweat, so they are especially common in the summer months. Tell her to wear cotton panties when she's out, but when she gets home for the day to go commando, to sleep without undies. It gives that part of her body the chance to breathe so that the risk of yeast infection goes down.

Yes. Wear cotton panites and keep the area from staying real hot.

Yes. Wear cotton panties, keep the area cool and dry, and avoid eating too many sweets.

Unusual but possible. Have your sister talk to her Mom about this.
