Answer 1

Dialogue is still third person if you are writing in third person. It's He said. She said.

Answer 2

I don't know about you, but I consider dialogue to simply be those words spoken between two people.

The story can be in any point of view. Dialogue doesn't have a point of view, it is simply the words between the quotation marks.
Whether it's written as 'He said, "You have to go." ' or as 'He says, "You have to go." ' ...the dialogue remains just the words "You have to go," which have no point of view.

Only the speaker (character) has a point of view, not the dialogue itself. Dialogue can have dialect put into it, or stuttering, or insanity... there are many choices... but none of them are 'point of view.'

Answer 3

You could say that the meaning of the dialogue is something created by the two people who are speaking to each other that is entirely separate from them. It is a point of view all by itself that comes from people negotiating and cooperating.

Hope that makes sense, probably talking BS.

Answer 4

Any part of a story using the same narration (third person in your case) stays that way. Dialogue just notes words and who says them.

Answer 5

dialogue doesnt change the point of view. if you are writing in third person, it stays in third person (well unless, of course, you say "i said" or something). if you are writing in first person, it stays in first person.

Answer 6

Depends on how you frame it.
He/She said is third person.
I said is first person.
You said is second person.
