It;s easier if you make your own.

You could use it as a source, however I would check the accuracy of the information. Some of the articles in there leaves things out and is a bit biased. Scientific and technical issues are covered quite nicely but some are over the top with their explaination. See timeline of the big bang for an example.
As with any source, cite it.

It's legal as long as you aren't plagiarizing. You are allowed to use Wikipedia as a source. However, when using Wikipedia, be extremely careful. Only use articles that have references and use the references to check the information you get.

You can reference wikipedia as a source but you cannot take large chunks of text or diagrams, that is plagiarism. Wikipedia is not always a reliable source though as anyone can edit it.

Ask your teacher. Some schools do not consider Wikipedia to be a reliable source of information.
And, obviously, plagerizing is always illegal.

Yes, as long as you source the material.

Yes, as long as you disclose where you got the material from and give credit to the original writer.

As long as you don't just copy and paste. Write in your own words. If you need to use a quote, then footnote the references.

If you properly site the source(s) using MLA or another approved format, then sure.

No, as long as you cite it

Yes, but make sure you cite it as your source (just as you should do with any other source).
