Try not to do it if possible as you could cause even more damage to the tyre, But if in doubt call the AA or any other breakdown recovery you may have.

If the road surface is smooth and driver is the only
person in the car 1/2 Km. is possible. But there is a
good chance you will spoil the tyre and the rim.

There isn't really a specified distance a person could travel on a flat. If you drive slowly you could drive a reasonable distance, but just note that if you have a flat and you are driving, there is a high chance that you will ruin the actual wheel since it is practically on the ground.

The only way I would recommend driving on a flat, would be if it happens in a bad area.
Driving on a flat will warp the rim. If you do not know how to change a flat by yourself....LEARN!

Your life is worth more than a tire. If you are in a bad area go to some place safe. It may ruin the flat tire and possibly the rim but don't risk your life for it.

There are far too many factors involved (condition of tire, road surface, weight of vehicle, etc.) to even give a rough estimate. It could be several miles. Could be several feet. The only factual answer would be "until it falls off." Even then, depending on circumstances, one could possibly continue on the rim for some distance. Extremely dangerous, but the light show can be spectacular!

Not very far, Hon, otherwise you'll wear the tire down to the rim! and maybe catch fire!!!! Drive very slowly, maybe 5 or 6mph. Half a mile at max, will wreck your tire and maybe your wheel!

Depends on if you want to fix the tire. The rim will tear it up fast, plus not good on the rim
