Absolutely. The techniques change slightly for the very young and the very old (or debilitated), but everyone can benefit from massage. If you are contemplating massage for a senior or child, it's not a bad idea to screen the therapist to make sure he/she has had training for those groups. It is a sub-speciality of massage. For instance, I had training in geriatric massage and found that some seniors who had gone to other therapists without that training were hurt by the therapist because they were too rough on them.

I'm pretty sure as long as it's legitimate. Don't know why anyone under the age of 16 would need a massage though.

Massage is helpful for all agegroups - right from newborn to old ones. In old age it is a best way to keep healthy.

depends on the type of massage and whether or not it has a "happy ending".

yes, but stay away from the thumping maniacs if you are very young, very old, or delicate of body.
