A triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section.
It depends on the pyramid. If it is a square based pyramid, a horizontal plane will give a square cross section, a plane inclined by a rotation parallel to one of the base axes will give a rectangular cross section whereas a plane inclined by rotation along both basal axes will result in a parallelogram cross section. Not sure how you get a parallelogram from a pentagonal or hexagonal (etc) pyramid.
Answer 1A triangle. Answer 2For a triangular prism, the cross section is a triangle.
Yes the triangular cross-section area is congruent throughput the prism.

You cannot have a 2d prism. The 2d cross section will depend on the plane of the cross section.
A triangular prism has a triangular cross-section. A rectangular prism has a rectangular cross-section.

No, a triangular prism cannot roll because it does not have a circular cross-section like a cylinder or a sphere. Rolling requires a continuous curved surface that can rotate around an axis. A triangular prism has a polygonal cross-section with flat sides, so it would slide rather than roll.
Yes, it can.
A triangle forms the cross-section of a triangular prism.
Yes. A cuboid, for example, has triangular cross sections
A solid with a triangular cross section when the cross section is taken parallel to the base could be either a triangular prism, a triangular pyramid, or a triangular frustrum.. I've been sitting here trying to convince myself (without actually bearing down and trying to prove it mathematically) that any cross section of a regular tetrahedron (a special case of triangular pyramid) taken perpendicularly to the base is a triangle, and I THINK this is the case, but as I said I certainly haven't rigorously proven it; I'm just unable to come up with any obvious situation where this is not true.
