Yes, but usually only if the friend did something significant. For a quick coffee, just text 'Tak!'.

'Glad' means happy. 'Taknemmelig' means grateful. You can be glad for a sunny day, but you are taknemmelig for a friend's support.

Add an 'e' at the end: 'Vi er taknemmelige'.

It is more formal than 'tak', but it is used in neutral settings when the feeling is sincere.

Yes, if the object brings you a sense of gratitude, like 'Jeg er taknemmelig for mit hjem'.

The opposite is 'utaknemmelig' (ungrateful).

No, 'taknemmelig' is the same for 'en' and 'et' words when used as a predicative adjective (Jeg er...).

Not really, but 'Tak!' is the shorter way to express the same general idea.
