The set of all the points in the plane that are a given distance from a line segment is a pair of lines parallel to the given segment?

Not quite.
It is two parallel lines of the same length as the line segment plus two semicircles, one at each end of the line segment.
The overall shape is like an oval running track with the original line segment down the middle.

What is the locus of points at a given distance of a line?
The locus of points at a given distance to a line would be a line parallel to the first line. Assuming that both lines are straight.
Can a ray be a line segment?
No. A ray is infinite on one side and ends at a point at the other. A line segment ends in two points. A ray can contain a line segment, as the distance between any two given points on the ray is a line segment.
What is the locus of points 1 cm from a given line Q?
A pair of parallel lines at a distance of 1 cm from the line Q.
A set of points that are ALL THE same distance from a given point?
The set of all points a given distance from a center point is a circle. The given distance is the radius, and the given point is the center. Or, in 3 dimensional space, a sphere.
Which geometric object is defined as the set if all points in a plane at a given distance at a given point?
A circle is the set of all points in a plane at a given distance FROM a given point, which is known as the circle's center.
What is the locus of points at a given distance of a line?
The locus of points at a given distance to a line would be a line parallel to the first line. Assuming that both lines are straight.
The set points in space that are a given distance from a given point is?
In three dimensions, the solid defined as being bound by the set of points at a given distance form a point is a sphere. In two dimensions, the figure defined as being bound by the set of points at a given distance from a point is a circle. In one dimension, a line segment is bound by the two points at a given distance from a point.
Can a ray be a line segment?
No. A ray is infinite on one side and ends at a point at the other. A line segment ends in two points. A ray can contain a line segment, as the distance between any two given points on the ray is a line segment.
How many points does a line segment have?
Infinite! When you speak of a "point" on a line segment, you're referring to infinitely small locations, not physical dots that you might draw on the segment. If you think of a "point" as being located at a certain distance from one of the end points of a 3 inch segment, such as 2.31 inches from the left side, you could always add more and more decimal places to the distance, such as 2.3173... to identify an infinite number of "points" or locations on the segment. A segment has 2 points one at the end and one at the beginning.**The answer as to how many points are on a line segment is "infinite". A given line segment is determined by it's two "end points", but has an infinite set of points between and including these two end points that make up the segment itself.
