To me, I believe that a power set is not empty. Here is my thought:
∅ ∊ P(A) where P(A) is the power set and A is the set.
This implies:
∅ ⊆ A
This means that A = ∅, but ∅ ∉ A. ∅ ∊ A if A = {∅} [It makes sense that ∅ ∊ {∅}]. Then, {∅} ⊆ A, so {∅} ∊ P(A) = {∅, {∅}}. That P(A) is not empty since it contains {∅} and ∅.

It is the set comprising the following 4 elements:phi,{phi},{{phi}} and{phi, {phi}}
No. Let A = {a} (a singleton set) then P(A) = {a, 0} where 0 is the null (empty) set.
Yes,an empty set is the subset of every set. The subset of an empty set is only an empty set itself.
The empty set is a set that has no elements.
The only subset of an empty set is the empty set itself.
