There are 8 bits in a byte, so a two byte integer would be 16 bits. The largest 16 bit integer possible would be 11111111111111112, which is 65535 in base 10.
-16 is both a negative integer and a rational number
No.
A 5-bit binary counter, interpreted as an unsigned integer, has a range of 0 to 31. Interpreted as a two's complement signed integer, it has a range of -16 to +15.
Consult your limits.h and math.h. For char it will be -128..127 or 0.255 (signed and unsigned).

For an unsigned integer, that would be 216-1. For a signed integer in 2's complement notation, the largest number would be 215-1.
A signed 16 bit number can represent the decimal numbers -32768 to 32767.

With a signed integer, the top bit is used to hold the sign of the number, so that the range of numbers that can be held is -(2number_of_bits-1) to 2number_of_bits-1 -1, whereas with an unsigned integer, all the bits are used to store the number which will always be positive and so the range is 0 to 2number_of_bits -1. For example, with 16 bits, a signed integer has the range -(215) to 215 -1 = -32768 to 32767 whereas an unsigned integer has the range 0 to 216 -1 = 0 to 65535. The point in particular to note is how the numbers (bit patterns) with the top bit set are interpreted: with unsigned ints they are greater than those without the top bit set (eg 0xffff = 65535 > 0x7fff = 32767), but with signed ints they are less (eg 0xffff = -1 < 0x7fff = 32767). I'm not sure about the significance of declaring a constant as unsigned (having never used one), but at a guess I would say it's to tell the compiler that the bit pattern is an unsigned bit pattern and to throw up a warning (or error) if it's used with a signed bit pattern, eg if used in a comparison with a signed int - ie an aid to cutting down on bugs by ensuring that things are only used for their intended purpose.

A word in a computer is the native integer for that computer. In a 16 bit computer, a word is a 16 bit integer.
An 8 bit displacement is a two's complement signed value, with a possible range of -128 to +127. To convert it to an 16 bit displacement, sign extension is done. This means that the implied high byte is FFH if the high bit of the low byte is 1, or 00H if not. The resulting 16 bit displacement will still have a range of -128 to +127.
