Yes, but if you use it for something tiny (like passing the salt), it might sound a bit funny or overly formal.

'Vielmals' is the correct adverb. 'Vielmal' is rarely used on its own in modern German.

The most common reply is 'Gerne geschehen' (Gladly done) or 'Bitte sehr' (You're very welcome).

Yes, but it is especially popular in Switzerland, Austria, and Southern Germany.

Yes! That is a very nice way to thank a friend personally.
