Usually. Some countries like China limit foreign ownership. Any large broker in India will have a US office, or a relationship with a US broker to buy US stock.

Sure you can. Why not? Your money is just as good as anyone else’s, and I’m sure someone in the world of U.S. investments would be happy to help you…

It can be difficult to find a brokerage that will trade on foreign markets, but it can be done. This is from the perspective of a US investor. Since the US markets are so popular, it may be easier for someone outside the US to get to our markets and vice versa.

Yes, but it may not be advantageous. For instance, investing in the US market is less advantageous for a Canadian investor because of tax implications for foreign capital gains. The need to convert small dividend payments to ones own currency can eat up an unreasonable part of the benefit.
It can be a better strategy to invest in companies on your own stock market. This is further enhanced when your own stock market is more volatile and you manage to ride the up-tide, skip the down.

Yes it is possible depending on the countries monetary policies. Indians can buy in other exchanges, as for as I know in small quantities.

Sure

Generically yes. But it the specific two countries matter. If you were in China – that would be a problem.
The example you gave of an Indian investing in the US … The US welcomes outside investments. So the issue is finding a broker in India. I believe India does not restrict individuals from investing abroad. Finding a broker to handle what he may feel is a small purchase of shares can be tough – but the key is call a few brokers and ask if they can purchase the stock that interests you. ALSO ask for his fee structure.
You may want to invest in a foreign stock fund. This would be where the brokerage house buys stock in many companies and so spreads you investment. The nice thing of a mutual fund is that you own shares in a Indian fund and within the fund they handle the conversions to a foreign currency and make it easier for you to buy or sell.

Surely you can. But before investing, you need to check whether such an investments are allowed by the two respective countries; and if it is allowed, what is the limit.
If you are a resident of India, and want to invest in any US company, both the countries allow it. Now you need to find a broker who allows you to trade in US company while you are staying in India. There are some brokerages like ICICIDirect.com, which has tie-up with US brokerage. They allow trading in US companies.
