Yes, 'Unnskyld' on its own is very common and slightly more casual than 'Unnskyld meg'.

Not at all. It is perfectly polite and neutral for all ages.

Unnskyld is for 'Excuse me' (attention/minor). Beklager is for 'I'm sorry' (regret/mistake).

You can say 'Det går bra' (It's okay) or 'Helt i orden' (Quite alright).

Yes, it is common to say 'Unnskyld' or 'Unnskyld meg' after sneezing in a quiet room.

No, 'meg' adds a bit of weight and formality. For a quick 'sorry' as you pass someone, 'Unnskyld' is enough.
