1. Yes, if the flight is more than 4 hours long.
2. on the red eyes they do, but not local
3. All airlines are cutting back. You are more likely to get something in first. The shorter the flight though, the less likely it is in any cabin. For just a 24 seat first class section (6 rows of 4), it takes almost 1-1/2 hours to serve a meal - it just can't be done safely on a shorter flight, because the flight attendants can't begin the meal service until the airplane is level at a cruising altitude, and need to be done around the time the airplane starts it's descent. That just does not leave a lot of time. A flight of about 3 hours seems to be the cutoff point between getting something vs. nothing but drinks and a bag of "munchies".
4. They serve full meals on flights longer than 4 hours.
5. On international flights they do. On domestic flights usually airlines do not in an effort to cut back on expenses. Depending on when you are flying, they may serve a meal.
