Do I have to include my short working experience in my inapplication/resume if it's less than 6 months? Or should I add it to my list of 'working experience' when applying for a new job?

generally if you worked several jobs for 6 months or less you would lump them all in a group that is probably entitled "other work experience". However, if thats all you have are 6-month jobs then play up your education and skills more and just list the places you worked without showing how long you worked there, just give a year figure.

I am not sure where are you from. But in my country, the usual practice is that if you work less than 6 months, we don't put it in our resume as it will affect our chance of being recruited

It all depends on whether that short-term employment was relevant to the job you're seeking. If so, then include it. If not, leave it off.
Work is work, whether it's full or part time, permanent or temporary. The only issue is whether it's relevant to what you want.

Both, I would recommend. Put that 6 months of experience up front, ahead of your education.
Once you are out of school - you always put releavant job experience ahead of education, or it looks like you are trying to hide it.

If it's related to the job you want, yes. If not, no.
If it's related, mention it on your resume and your application.
