Yes, take a present. Make it very small (most companies have anti-corruption rules about large presents) but distinctively from the country you're going to.

Yes you can do but I urge you to make sure it is a small stuff and not big one. Otherwise, everyone will think you are trying to buy your boss and co workers. I did buy ties from Thailand and it cost me 3 dollars per one. It is a 100% silk and awesome. You can do that if you visit India. Make sure everyone gets one then everything is all right. I did give everyone and it fell so good. Enjoy your trip and Happy new you.
By the way, if you do not want to buy a small gift you can send a nice postcard and say I wish you were here to everyone. Everyone will touch by your thought.

You may. Get them keychains or some souvenirs from the place you visit. Need not be expensive, about $1 to $2 will be fine.

No you don't need to get them anything, just show them a couple photos (not too many) when you return. I think gift giving to fellow workers is taking it too far and also makes it uncomfortable for those that cannot return the favour.

You could just send a nice postcard, and maybe bring back a framed picture from your trip to put in the lunchroom. You do not HAVE to bring them anything.

NO, not individual gifts; maybe a special native treat for the staff room, but thats it; otherwise you'll look like you're trying too hard.

Etiquette would not dictate your getting something, but what a nice thought. I would suggest a food item that can be shared in the office.

If you have the money, why not? Get your boss a leather wallet and your colleagues studs. It will enhance the relationship.

It is completly up to you what you want to do.
You get gifts just imagine the smile on there face and getting a thanks :)
Get them a gift card or something like that so they can just buy something they want :) simple and easy

No, I think it would look a bit "sucky".
