This is just called the "sum". Sometimes also the "resultant vector".

Resultant Vector
No, the sum of two vectors cannot be a scalar.
When the vectors are parallel, i.e. both have the same direction.
A resultant Vector.
The sum of two or more vectors is called the resultant vector. It represents the combination of all individual vectors acting together.
The sum of 2 or more vectors is called the resultant vector. It is the single vector that represents the combined effect of all the individual vectors added together.
This is just called the "sum". Sometimes also the "resultant vector".
Yes, the vector sum is called the resultant. The resultant is the single vector that represents the combined effect of two or more vectors. It is equal to the vector sum of the individual vectors.

Resultant Vector
No, the sum of two vectors cannot be a scalar.
Vectors that sum to zero are coplanar and coplanar vectors sum to zero.
When the vectors are parallel, i.e. both have the same direction.
Not really. The sum of the magnitudes is a scalar, not a vector - so they can't be equal. But the sum of the two vectors can have the same magnitude, if both vectors point in the same direction.
The combination of two or more vectors results in a new vector known as the resultant vector. This resultant vector is found by adding or subtracting the individual vectors' magnitudes and directions.
