The majors that require calculus are all mathematics, science, and engineering majors.
These include (but are not limited to) mathematics, mathematics education, science education, Biology, chemistry, physics, civil engineering, chemical engineering, biological engineering, electrical engineering, biochemistry, pharmeceuticals, and computer science.
So about 99% of students in those majors and related majors will take calculus their freshman year (typically the second semester). I say 99% because calculus is a prerequisite for all other courses in those majors (so it must be taken very early), but there is a very small possibility (I'd say 1% chance) that students can take calculus their sophomore year instead.

No. College Algebra and Precalculus (or Trigonometry) are enough preparation to take Calculus.
It depends on what college you attend. Most universities in Missouri require you to take Calculus I in order to become an accountant.
Calculus is commonly taken as a first year course in college, but can be taken as an advanced course late in high school through programs like AP Calculus.
Usually you'll take it in 12th grade and college, but some highschools will let you take it earlier
It depends when you take the course. Some people take it their senior year in school or are not ready to take it until college. I took it my junior year in high school.
