depends. if you're using a cold air intake, it might help it out, so yes. hp depends on a lot of things, restriction in tail pipes, which cold air wont affect. how much air gets into the engine and such. cold air molecules are more closely packed together. essentially, you are techincally bringing "more" molecules of air per atmosphere into your engine.

You may get a small benefit from the fact that colder air is denser, so contains slightly more oxygen. This is more than likely offset by the increased drag of cold lubricants. Engine oil may heat up, but transmissions, wheel bearings, etc. stay cold for a long time.

For a carburated car, yes. For racing the best temp is around 65 deg. with a warm track. In a fuel injected car, when cold the computer compensates by adding fuel giving more power.

Warm air is less dense than cool air, there for cool air pack's a bigger punch when combusted in the engine, in doing so adds about 1 to 7 hp

It depends on how cold. Yes it will, but too cold weather, they change the fuel to make it burn easier, so will be a lose of power there too.
