The Christian Orthodoxy has the same doctrines as the Catholicism except the fact that it doesn't say there is a purgatory and that it doesn't give that much attention to Mary.

No, because from the beginning, Christians saw things differently. Christianity as we know it today was a creation of Saint Paul.
Many original Christians opposed Paul's interpretation of things like Resurrection, Universal Salvation, and deification of Jesus.

Yes
Full Orthodoxy is full Catholicism in my opinion
Mere Christianity( the Creeds) is orthodox Christian in so far as it goes but there is more

The Bible does not clearly give the lines for everything such as ways to conduct church. As long as the bottom line of Christianity is preached, which is Jesus Christ the Son of God who took the sins of the world and forgave everyone, past present and future. Anyone is able to come to God and be accepted if they have faith and confess their sins.

Yes. I think it's mainly because of money: Indulgences.
