Yes, in the Greek the term for that kind of Love is Aeros, Greek have 4 words to describe love.
I forget how many Hebrew has, but when it says that he knew her, thats what the translators are implying, what verse are you referencing?

sometimes. but like, in some parables, like the parable of the wedding feast, when ''the bridegroom will tell him plainly, 'i never knew you.' and he will be cast outside the gates where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'' then it's different. usually when it talks about a guy and a gallie, knowing each other, or more often, it only talks about a guy knowing or not knowing the gallie, not the other way around.

Some times.
Yes in the case of a husband knowing him wife.
No in the case of God knowing a person - this refers to him knowing our heart (our sinnfullness, devotion to him ect).

Yes. There are other euphemisms too. In the Book of Ruth, when Ruth "uncovered the feet" of Boaz? Well, oh dear, how can I say this?...

Not necessarily. It quite often is referring to a close personal relationship.

When Adam knew his wife, and Cain knew his wife, and Elkanah knew his wife Hannah, etc., yes; that's what "knew" meant.
