I think that depends on the economics of the situation and eventual health issues of the parents. In some cultures, kids move out as soon as possible (and sometimes before they are actually making a buck). This weakens the fabric of family and social interaction and may lead to "bad" decisions, like getting married or pregnant too soon.
Another point in favor of not moving out at all, can be found with in social biology (or evolutionary psychology). Grand parents - specially grand mothers play a key role in child raising among primitive cultures and some apes. This role has been lost in modern civilization. I would imagine that a grand mother around can be very beneficial for kids, even more if both parents work.
Point is, there's no write or wrong. Don't let society pressure you to do anything.

I would say 24-28 and older...but it really depends on the circumstances- if you have never left the nest and still live with mom and dad at this age, get out!!!! But if there were some complications throughout your life and you had to come back to live with your parents it may be understandable if you are actively seeking new housing and helping out around the house-not just being a moocher.

Does it still count if the parent or parents live with you? I think it depends on the circumstances and the arrangement. I think 18 is long enough to be a dependent, but if you are a full time student then that changes things.

Well that would depend on the situation.I work with a woman who is in her 40s and moved in with her aging parents to help them out. But if your in your 20s or 30s and have just never moved out it's time to spread your wings and fly.
