By questions do you mean asking bids? Some conventional bids, Stayman and Blackwood are two examples, are used to get partner to tell something specific about his hand so you can make further decisions armed with this knowledge.

The sequence 1NT-4NT is what is known as "quantitative" The 4NT bidder is inviting partner
to bid 6NT if he is maximum for his opening bid. If he is minimum,he passes. However,if a slam is bid, there is a danger that there could be
2 top losers against the side.(It's happened to me more than once!)

* Almost never really, I would do it on something like KQx KQx KQJTx AK (remove the ♣A if you play strong NT) where you could literally count 13 tricks if you aren't missing any aces.

Yes, with two balanced hand facing each other you generally need 33 points to make small slam (so you can't be missing two aces anyway) and 37 for grand slam (so you can't be missing one ace).

If you have enough for game, bid 4♠. If you have enough for game only if partner has a maximum for his raise then bid 3♠.
If you wish to give partner some information so he can make the decision, then bid another suit. This will usually mean, by agreement, either a suit In which you have significant values, or a suit where you have an OKish holding and need honours or shortness from pd to avoid several losers in the suit.
