Yes, but not the type of sugar that we eat its natural and is added when the onion is in the middle of growth by the nutrients of the soil, its perfectly healthy and isnt bad for you like the sugars made from sugar cane

Yes, raw onions contain sugar -- that's why they are so easily caramelized. A medium onion contains approximately 9 grams of sugar.

Usually sugar is added to make caramelized onions versus just sauteing onions, so that would be a yes.

Onions are naturally sweet. Making an Indian-style curry, onions are 'softened' [cooked very slowly] to add sweetness [while tomatoes are bitter!]

Yes, yellow (Vadelia) have the highest amount. That's why when you cook them slowly they will brown & carmelize.
