Not the Judeo-christian god.

Most Wiccans see God as manifesting as God and Goddess. Wicca is naturally a ditheistic religion. Some Wiccans take concepts from Christianity and incorporate them into Wicca. Most Wiccans rely on pre-Christian deities that focus on aspects of Nature like Norse, Celtic, Egyptian and Native American.

That depends... some Wiccans pray to separate dieties ... both a Goddess and a God, while others combine the two as two halves of the same entity, or "the One". Others still pray to one great being and several smaller ones, much like the Egyptians did thousands of years ago, and even then, those spirits vary from Egyptian, to Celtic to Native American.
You can find more information on the web, but please be very choosy as to where you get your information. Some sites will give you a very biased view. I suggest going to Religious Tolerance, which is a complilation of ideals from several different avenues. Also, Wicca specific information can be found at the Witch's Voice. (Both sites are listed below).

Most Wiccans honor the Goddess and Her beloved Consort, the God. The Goddess is sometimes considered the "ultimate" manifestation of the Divine with the God in a subordinate position; other Wiccans revere Them as equals. And yes, we pray to both Him and Her.

Depends on which God and which Wiccan. There are indeed Christian Wiccans who believe in the Christian YHVH and Yeshua. Most though believe in "The Lord" and "The Lady," God and Goddess like yin and yang ruling the universe. Still others are Hard Polytheists and serve many Gods. Still others believe it's all psychological, like Carl Jung's archetypes.

Wiccans tend to be duotheistic or polytheistic, not monotheistic. They don't believe in the same single deity that Jews, Christians, and Muslims do, they tend to believe at least in a God and a Goddess, at most in many different deities.

Not the God referred to in the Christian Bible. We also generally do not "pray" in the same way that a Christian might. We have gods and goddesses, and though we sometimes reach out to them to guide us during a ritual, we generally don't ask them for stuff all the time as many Christians do to their deity.

Wiccans believe in a God, not necessarily the Christian god. We pay respect to a Goddess and a God.

If you are refering to the god of the bible then no Wiccans do not believe in or pray to him. They have their own Goddess and her consort the God that they pray to.

Wiccans are polytheistic and thus do not believe in the monotheistic Christian God. They have their own gods and goddesses to whom they pray and comunicate with.
