Meaning, if I just made up an email address and sent someone an email, can the email I sent be traced to a certain location of where it was sent from?

There are literally dozens of ways to attempt what you are suggesting but with the right software, adequate time and motivation you can be located. Aside from increasing the difficulty of locating you, you are really powerless to be truly anonymous on the Internet.
Worked at networking computers and computer systems for Uncle Sam for about 12 years as an additional duty. It wasn't even my primary job and with what I learned there, I wouldn't even consider trying any sort of cyber stalking. If they want you bad enough the Feds can be knocking on your door before your hard drive spins down.

Yes, it can always be traced back if they wanted to pursue it. Additionally, the complaint will fall on deaf ears and they will likely just treat it as spam mail if no one will come forward the the formal complaint. Besides that, the Church is not responsible for one of their member's actions. If the family rents rather than owns, you can try filing complaints with the landlord that the boy is involved in illegal activity and the landlord might review the lease very closely to see if there are any violations under the lease (no landlord wants troublemakers in their homes). If they own the house, just keep filing complaints with the police everytime the boy does something illegal.

Yes, your IP address can always be traced. There are options on email to show details of what the IP address is.

Yes. Even if you "delete" things off your computer system, the information is still "hidden" on your hard drive. If your suspected and investigated, the authorities can get a warrant and seize your system and check your hard drive for information leading to a possible conviction.

Sending anonymous emails can be considered harassment or cyberstalking in many states.

Not if you go through a proxy server, although I would wonder why you want to send it anonymously....
