Consider the Complex Plane, with Real numbers along the horizontal axis, and Pure Imaginary numbers on the vertical axis. Any Complex number (a + ib) can be plotted as a point (a,b) on this plane. The point can be represented as a vector from the 'origin' (0,0) to the point (a1,b1). If the second 'complex vector' (a2,b2) is added to the first, this can be shown as a translated vector with it's 'tail' starting at the arrowhead of the first vector, and then the arrowhead of the second vector will terminate at the sum of: a1 + ib1 + a2+ ib2 [coordinate point: (a1+a2,b1+b2)
Yes, complex numbers obey the commutative property of addition.
Yes, the complex numbers, as well as the real numbers which are a subset of the complex numbers, form groups under addition.
Quite simply, they are closed under addition. No "when".
Complex numbers extend the concept of real numbers by introducing an imaginary unit, denoted as "i." Real numbers can be considered a subset of complex numbers with the imaginary part equal to zero. Complex numbers include both a real and imaginary component, allowing for operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
You can have counting number in multiplication and addition. All integers are in multiplication, addition and subtraction. All rational numbers are in all four. Real numbers, complex numbers and other larger sets are consistent with the four operations.

The complex numbers are a field.
This is a graph of the numbers by the complex number formula (z-1)/(z+1) Refer to the related link.

The idea of graphing complex numbers was published by Argand in 1806. See related link.
It's actually quite hard to graph complex numbers - you would need a four-dimensional space to graph them adequately. I believe it's more convenient to find zeros analytically for such functions.
Addition between complex numbers is very simple if the complex numbers are in standard form (real part and imaginary part separated); just add the real part and the imaginary part separately. For example: (3 + 2i) + (-5 + 3i) = (-2 + 5i)
