Your ear should NEVER get infected. But of course, it can. 2ga-0ga is a big stretch so your ear might just be cranky. Instead of using tapers, I would use the taping method. Its much easier on your ears and you won't tear your ear. If you just want to use tapers, I'd stop at 1ga and wait a bit before you go to 0ga.

Yes. You're ears are normally pierced at a 16g then it goes 14g, 12g.....2g, 0g, 00g then you get into the fraction of an inch sizes
they will never close back up completely, the smallest they may go back is 0 gauge.
There are many places from which one can buy 0 gauge plugs for ear piercing. These include Amazon, the auction website eBay, Kings Body Jewelry and Fresh Trends.
A dime is approximately 18mm in diameter, which is close to 11/16 inch. In gauge sizes, 11/16 inch is usually equated to around 17-18 gauge for ear piercings, although individual anatomy can vary. It's recommended to consult with a professional piercer for accurate sizing and fitting.
No, a pencil is not a size 0 gauge size but a 4 gauge.
It depends on the person. Some peoples will go back to a small size, just take them out and see. Wait about 3 months, if they aren't to a desires smaller size, you can try putting a fairly larger taper in your ear that will irritate your ear over night, then take it out in the morning, and it should shrink to smaller than before. Repeat the process if necessary.
