my answers to your questions are as follows, and this is only one persons experiance, YMMV.
1. You can get banned for botting for 5 min if you get caught. If you bot you will get caught and your account will be banned.
2. The cheapest is one you write yourself, but otherwise I think Demonbuddy is the only one actively supported.
3. Yes but the more people running the same bot the faster they will get caught.
4. Yes I farm inferno only, usually only act 3, I find this has the best Death/Items/Gold ratio. With selling I only get about ~250-300k/Hr the real money is items on the RMAH
5. I don't think so, about ~250-300k/Hr
6. No idea but again DB has a pretty good reputation.
7. Don't use it. If you use one you will get caught. My botting accounts have been running since 1.0.3 and I haven't been banned. But I will be. The bots have paid for themselves so I don't care.
I have 4 accounts 1 I play on and use it as a master, the other 3 are full time bots running ~12 to 20 hrs a day. They run until their inventory is full with high level rares and legendary items. Then they exit the program. I then go in and manually review the items and sell on auction house, or to a vendor. I usually get 15~20 decent items a day, with 1 or 2 that bring $10.00+ on RMAH. I have had a few items that have brought over $100, I am still waiting to get my first $200+ item. My bots each make me about $30.00 a day so they only need to run 2 days to break even. So when I get banned I will just open another account and keep going.
I don't worry to much about gold farming, but I do sell it when I get enough. I don't see it being talked about that much anymore so my guess is that there are not many people gold farming anymore. I keep my main account at ~20mil, and leave about ~1mil in my bots accounts. I sell 20mil at a time. I usually have to list it 2 or 3 times before it sells. So I don't hink gold farming should be you focus unless you are buying in the gold house to resell on the RMAH.
