SUre thing when you see a sharp sign no matter what key it is on, just ply the very next note up, so that means a B# would have you playing a the C key and vice versa for flats. The reason why music does this instead of just saying C natural is because if you are playing something which already has one or two C sharps in the same measure it might look a lot cleaner to just raise the B instead of constantly changing the C sharp and natural signs. Basically it means that the musician can sight read a lot quicker cause he doesn't have to think "ok the c is natural, now its sharp, now its natural again" they can just think "B#, C#, B#" and they don't have to remember if the next C they play is natural or sharped

Yes e sharp is f and b sharp is c on the piano.

Yes...E# is enharmonic with F....and B# is enharmonic with C...they sound the same but the only thing that's different is the name of the note...people who are listening won't tell the difference because there is none....
you can play a Cx (double sharp) and it's the same as playing D...

Sure you can! They are fairly rare in piano pieces, (or any piece for that matter) but they are in some pieces. You just play them as their enharmonic equivalents, F and C. They'll most likely be in pieces with 7 sharps or they could be accidentals.

Yes. E sharp is enharmonic with F and B sharp is enharmonic with C, meaning that basically E sharp is F and B sharp is C

Yes.
Just play Bach's Prelude & Fugue in C# Major.
The E# is an F, and the B# is a C.
G# and A flat are the same note.
A sharp raises the pitch by a semitone, a flat lowers it by a semitone.

yes, a e sharp is enharmonic to f, and a b sharp is enharmonic to a c. they are different because it depends what key the piece is in.

Yes you can, it's the same as an as F and a C. Do you have a teacher or are you trying to learn on your own, I wish that you would have said, have you been playing long ?

yes. Enharmonically, e sharp is where f natural lies. B sharp is where c natural lies

sure
e sharp = f natural
b sharp = c natural
