A psuedovector is a vector that transform in a proper rotation, but in three dimensions it gains an additional sign flip because of an improper rotation.

Answer: There are no "pseudo vectors" there are pseudo "rules". For example the right hand rule for vector multiplication. If you slip in the left hand rule then the vector becomes a pseudo vector under the right hand rule. Answer: A pseudo vector is one that changes direction when it is reflected. This affects all vectors that represent rotations, as well as, in general, vectors that are the result of a cross product.
It is the cross product of two vectors. The cross product of two vectors is always a pseudo-vector. This is related to the fact that A x B is not the same as B x A: in the case of the cross product, A x B = - (B x A).
Yes, a vector can be represented in terms of a unit vector which is in the same direction as the vector. it will be the unit vector in the direction of the vector times the magnitude of the vector.
The zero vector is both parallel and perpendicular to any other vector. V.0 = 0 means zero vector is perpendicular to V and Vx0 = 0 means zero vector is parallel to V.
