No.The empirical rule is a good estimate of the spread of the data given the mean and standard deviation of a data set that follows the normal distribution.If you you have a data set with 10 values, perhaps all 10 the same, you clearly cannot use the empirical rule.

Frequently it's impossible or impractical to test the entire universe of data to determine probabilities. So we test a small sub-set of the universal database and we call that the sample. Then using that sub-set of data we calculate its distribution, which is called the sample distribution. Normally we find the sample distribution has a bell shape, which we actually call the "normal distribution." When the data reflect the normal distribution of a sample, we call it the Student's t distribution to distinguish it from the normal distribution of a universe of data. The Student's t distribution is useful because with it and the small number of data we test, we can infer the probability distribution of the entire universal data set with some degree of confidence.
standard normal is for a lot of data, a t distribution is more appropriate for smaller samples, extrapolating to a larger set.

The normal distribution allows you to measure the distribution of a set of data points. It helps to determine the average (mean) of the data and how spread out the data is (standard deviation). By using the normal distribution, you can make predictions about the likelihood of certain values occurring within the data set.
Yes, If you have a large data set, you can approximate the discrete data by Normal distribution (which is continuous). An example would be, "A coin is tossed 1000 times. What is the probability of rolling between 300 and 400 heads?" This problem, usually solved by Binomial distribution (which is a discrete distribution), is very difficult to solve because of the large data set and can be approximated by the Normal distribution.

A set of data is a set of nuumbers .

The median in a set of data, would be the middle item of the data string... such as: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 the Median of this set of data would be: 4
No. The data set will remain the data set: they are the observations that are recorded.
