Any whole number can be written as that number over 1, i.e. here as n = 2/1. It can also be written as any multiple of that fraction, e.g. here as 4/4, 6/3 and in general as n x a/n x 1.

A fraction can have non-zero whole number value when the improper fraction is such that the numerator is an exact (whole number) multiple (which is not zero) of the denominator will the fraction have a whole number value. for example 10/5 = (5×2)/(5×1) = 2/1 = 2 ÷ 1 = 2.
Any whole number can be written over 1. To divide a fraction by a whole number, multiply that fraction by one over the whole number. 2/3 divided by 4 = 2/3 x 1/4
No, 3/2 is not a whole number, it is an improper fraction.
The answer can be another fraction and a whole number or it can be a whole number.
It depends: If the whole number is positive then the result is less than the whole number, eg ½ × 2 = 1 < 2 If the whole number is negative then the result is greater than the whole number, eg ½ × -2 = -1 > -2
