depends. Parents, siblings and spouses /children are considered Immediate Family. Grandparents are only considered Immediate if they served *in loco parentis*.
Emergency Leave is granted on a case by case basis. it comes out of your regularly earned leave. If you are deployed, you may or may not be able to come home. sometimes, you are given the option, and you do not have to take it. Other times, you may not be allowed to take it at all. It will truly depend on the person's relationship to the deceased, and the current mission requirements of the command, as well as ability of the command to get the military member back home. sometimes, it is just not physically possible to do so.

For immediate family yes, emergency leave can be requested the Red Cross can help with this. For extended family , if you have accumulated leave on the books you can request it . Most Commanding Officers are pretty good about this.

Yes you are allowed to leave. It is called emergency leave, but they come out of the 30 leave days you earn a year.

You will get a month of leave every year. If something happens to someone in your family your command will let you leave and come back. I mean they won't let you out of the military, but you will be allowed to go on leave.

YES! There are different categories of leave and this would be considered emergency leave, the highest category. I just hope that you would not have the need for this type of leave.

Yes you can get immediate leave of absences. They are pretty good about that sort of thing. It also won't be for an extended amount of time, maybe a day or two if you are lucky. Sometimes only hours.

It depends on exactly who it is that died. No, the military is not like jail. It has to be someone in your immediate family, can't be like a cousin.
