The cross product can be said to be a measure of the 'perpendicularity' of the vectors in the product. Please see the link.
No, the axis must be specified: torque = (distance from the axis) X (force). (X is the vector cross-product in this case - meaning the angle also matters.)No, the axis must be specified: torque = (distance from the axis) X (force).

cross: torque dot: work
Normally you use sine theta with the cross product and cos theta with the vector product, so that the cross product of parallel vectors is zero while the dot product of vectors at right angles is zero.
Cross product is a mathematics term when there is a binary operation on two vectors in three-dimensional space.
