As long as the breakers are made to fit the box, there shouldn't be a problem.
you can only use breakers listed for the panel, there should be a label on the panel door. It will list all of the breakers approved for use in that panel. If you don't see the breaker by manufacturer name listed, then it should not be used. Lots of brands will interchange, but they have to be listed to be approved.

Yes, as long as the lug connects to the panel thye same way.
None! Distribution panel designed to use specific type of circuit breakers. It's a NEC violation to install different type of breaker even it fits perfectly.
In my experience, NOTHING is compatible with a Murray panel. Others claim there are certain Siemens and Federal Pacific breakers or Eaton type "CL", but you might have to obtain permission from the inspector to use anything other than Murray.
Yes they are. I would only use them as a temporary measure until obtaining the correct Siemens breaker. There is a part of the electrical code about modifying electrical equipment which this could be construed as. If the panel certification is lost and the panel faults and a fire occurs, your insurance company might not cover the losses occurring from the fire.
Siemens bought Gould so a Siemens panel should work.
Some Siemens may work but remember you are responsible for any fire or lives lost that may occur from using the wrong breaker. Get Gould breakers and you will then know they are safe. Can't find Gould breakers then replace the entire service panel. That is what I would do.

The key to breaker compatibility is if it fits correctly into the buss bars in the electric panel.

No, Siemens circuit breakers are not compatible with ITT breakers. Each brand of circuit breaker has its own specifications and designs, so they are not interchangeable. It is important to check the compatibility and ratings of the circuit breaker before installation.
Possibly. Depends on which model Siemens breaker you have.
GE circuit breakers with catalog numbers ranging from THQL1115 through to THQL1150 can be substituted like for like with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers coded CL115 through to CL150, ITE Siemens circuit breakers coded Q115 through to Q150 and Square D circuit breakers coded HOM115 through to HOM150. These are single pole breakers. GE circuit breakers with catalog codes from THQL2115 through to THQL2150 can be substituted with Cutler-Hammer circuit breakers CL215 through to CL250, Square D circuit breakers HOM215 through to HOM250 and ITE Siemens circuit breakers Q215 through to Q250 of the same amperage and voltage. These are double pole breakers.
