Yes, unless you are chalk painting
You should always prime when painting on top of wood.
Hello! Hometalk has great information on prepping your kitchen cabinets for paint! Take a look:

It would be a good idea, or use a paint that includes primer, as wood will soak in the paint by itself and you will end up having to paint several coats.
yes, but if you don't want to, you can use chalk paint, which doesn't require prep!
Yes definitely
