Can be in the summer
Can be both summer and winter
Yes
If you drive in the rain a lot, you might want to look at the Michelin Hydro-Edge. They are a little on the hard side for my tastes, but if it's hot most of the summer you'll find that makes them last longer. They won't stick to the road like a performance tire and they're no good in the winter, but they are excellent on wet roadways.
The Hydro-Edge is okay on gravel and dirt but if you live out on a long dirt road you might consider something with better low speed traction.
Get snow tires for winter.
