Yes, once signed it becomes legally binding.
The matter of the document being legal or not is completely different.
The signer is binded by the (if it's legal) document once signed.

Not necessarily.
The document must still comply with all the requirements of your specific legal system before it becomes a legal document. The signature is merely a formality.
Usually the document must:
1. Contain what has been agreed to
2. Not be for an illegal purpose
3. The parties agreeing/signing must have legal standing.
The requirements does however change from one legal system to the other. Specify where you are and what the agreement is to get better answers.

It depends upon the document...some are not considered "legal and binding" until they have been notarized in addition to signed or affirmed by an oath. Also, the person(s) who is/are signing must have legal standing to do so (proper age and mental capacity to know what they are doing).

I believe a document is legal when it is drawn up, assuming it meets the criteria of a legal document. I believe it is considered binding when it is signed.

If the person is credible and of the right mind then yes. Any witnesses will severely help.

Theoretically but everything legal can be undone with the right legal representation.

Normally it must be signed by a witness as well..
