If your foot don't hurt usually after a workout and it does in this special case, yes, go see a podiatrist.
There can be many causes such as tendinitis, tarsal tunnel, excessive pronation, etc. Yes, you should see a doctor and get the correct diagnosis so you can get the appropriate treatment.
Often it can be an "overuse" injury. if you do not appropriately warm up or stretch you can develop a tendonitis or another condition where a particular structures gets overworked and becomes painful. An accurate diagnosis is necessary, I recommend you see a Podiatrist to get it checked out.
Yes, you should go to see a podiatrist. There are many things that could cause that pain including stress fractures, partial tunnel sprains, etc.

Please see a podiatrist for an examination.
You should be evaluated. The types of activity and the structure of your foot need to be considered.
yes
Your foot pain depends completely on your level of activity prior to starting exercising, your type & activity level, and general health. It also depends on what you were doing when it started and what makes the pain worse. In general, it would be best to get your pain checked out by a qualified medical. I suggest any foot, ankle, or leg pain be evaluated by a foot & ankle specialist (Podiatrist or Foot & Ankle Orthopedist).

It’s difficult to say, where exactly does the foot hurt? What kind of exercise are you doing? It would be best to see a doctor in person
Really depends on what you were doing in your workout and how severe the pain is. Try icing the area that hurts and take an over-the-counter medication like Advil or Aleve. If no improvement in a couple of days, then go to a podiatrist.
See a specialist for an evaluation.
You should, and see a doctor, it could be March fracture.

There can be many causes of foot pain after a workout. The most common causes are typically present as a result of overuse, and/or a significantly increased activity level over a short time span. Stress fractures are a common cause for foot pain and swelling after activity. Symptoms include pain, and swelling after activity. If this pain continues, and more importantly if the pain worsens, please seek medical care.

Give yourself time to heal. You should try resting, icing and taking an anti-inflammatory first since there could be a number of reasons for why your foot hurts. If there was no obvious trauma or injury during your work out, I would start with evaluating your shoe gear. Is it supportive enough for you and the physical activity you are doing? If they are, how old or worn are they? If you still have pain after attempting shoe gear modification and RICE, then you should be evaluated by a medical professional.
You should see a Podiatrist/Foot and ankle Specialist. You may have injured a tendon or ligament, or you may even have a stress fracture of the affected foot.
I recommend you make an appointment to see a foot and ankle surgeon (podiatrist). There is a possibility you developed a fracture from the activity
