the supreme court will hear intrastate issues, constitutional issues, and major appeals.
if your case involves any of these, then you can.

No, the only exception I know of to the appeals process is that if there is no appeal court of competent jurisdiction, the Supreme Court does have jurisdiction. There is also the standing-to-sue requirement, that is, the issue has to be something that hurts you, not just something you think isn't right or should be changed (that's what the legislature does, not the courts).
I can't remember the case, but there was a case where someone convicted of a misdemeanor crime wanted to appeal the verdict, and at the time there was no appeal court for misdemeanors in that state, so his appeal was directed to and heard by the Supreme Court.

No! you have to follow the rules of the court, unless you live in New York, they call what most states call the Superior court the Supreme court. If you are referring to the US Supreme court you must first file in Superior court and then appeal through the Stare court system and then to the Federal appeals court and then you can petition the Supreme court and they refuse to hear more cases than they hear.

No.... you have to start in lower courts, if they do not rule on your favor, you appeal, if the appeal has merits it goes to a higher court, the process is repeated until the higher court is the supreme court, even then they might decide not to listen your case

it depends on the issue.... but it usually starts in state courts and then if you feel the final decision was unjust you take it to supreme court... i think.
