Contexto cultural

Education is a state matter (Ländersache), so the types of schools one might 'besuchen' vary by region (e.g., Hamburg vs. Bavaria). The term 'Matura' is the goal for those who 'besuchen' a higher secondary school, similar to the German 'Abitur'. Vocational training is highly respected; many 'besuchen' a 'Berufsschule' as part of an apprenticeship.

Yes, but 'studieren an der Universität' is more common for students. 'Besuchen' is used for specific lectures or if you are talking about the institution generally.

Use 'die Schule' when talking about the general concept of school or a specific one already mentioned. Use 'eine Schule' if you are just saying you attend 'a' school (any school).

No, in this specific collocation, it means you are a regular student. If you were a guest, you would say 'Ich bin zu Besuch in der Schule'.
