Leap year is a feature of the Gregorian calendar, which has 365 days except when a day is added in a leap year, according to a formula. Thus , eg,Feb AD 2100 will have 28 days, niot 29.Other calendars do not have 365 days.Hijra calendar has 354 days always. Vikrami calendar ( used in India /Nepal) has 354 days ,except when another month is added to make 373 days.

Yes, of course. Otherwise our dates would be out of sync with the rest of the world and they'd get worse every four years.
Some countries do use different calendars. Here's a link for more info.

No. Other countries have different calendars than we do, and some people are already in the year 7000!!!

Yes. Otherwise our calendars would not be in sync. However, there are calendars other than the common Julian calendar we follow.

Of course, otherwise the dates would be completely different in each country. And they are not, in case you were wondering.
