زمینه فرهنگی

In Greece, 'old school' is often synonymous with 'leventia' (bravery/nobility) and 'filotimo'. It's a high compliment for men. Similar usage, but often emphasizes the 'word of honor' in business dealings without written contracts. Greek-Americans or Greek-Australians use it to describe the first generation of immigrants who kept strict traditions. Younger generations use it to describe 'vintage' or 'retro' preferences in music and fashion, often with pride.

Rarely. It usually implies respect. If you want to be negative, use 'οπισθοδρομικός'.

Yes, but it usually implies the object was made with traditional methods. 'Ένα έπιπλο της παλιάς σχολής'.

'Σχολή' refers to a school of thought or a tradition, while 'σχολείο' is just the building.

You can say 'της νέας σχολής', but it is much less common than the 'old school' version.
