Yes so long you take breaks every 2 hours
No travel after 34 weeks. Prior to, you may travel, but will need to stop and walk every 2 hours to prevent blood clots in the legs.
Yes
You should not travel more than an hour from where you're delivering your baby at once you get to be 35 to 36 weeks gestation or above.

You can travel but the question is subjective to which trimester you are in and the medical concerns in pregnancy, you need to get a clearance from your OBGyn.

The answer is yes and no depending on how far and mode of transportation.
If by air each airline carrier has their rule and regulation as how far a gravida is in her weeks to be allowed onboard. So confirm it with your carrier.
If by road, consider the distance and how far along you are before you embark on your travels. You should consult with your ob provider before you initiate any journey.
Yes , ut every couple of hours stretch your legs.
