Mt Kilhea is rather unique among volcanoes in that it is well vented and its lava bubbles out almost perpetually. It doesn't plug up for long periods of time and explode like most volcanoes. THis has made it a tourist attraction in Hawaii. People feel safe enough around it to make it a vacation destination. It erupts often enough to almost be relied upon to be erupting when you book a flight to go there. So, to answer your question, it erupts constantly, a little bit at a time.

Kilauea is currently erupting has has been almost continuously since 1983.
All volcanoes like active volcano(eg. mt fuji, mt st helens,mt mayon,mt pinatubo,etc.) and dormant volcano (eg. mt rainer in USA) are dangerous they might erupt any moment.
last scientists said it was supposed to erupt january 10, 1985 but seems how that did not happen it is like a sitting bomb waiting to erupt. my opynyon is it is not active anymore!
Mt. Kilauea on Hawaii is a basaltic shield volcano. This sort of volcano produces basalt lava which is not tremendously gassy and quite hot and runny. Thus unless water gets into the volcano's pluming (in which case there can be violent explosive eruptions), they are usually quiet, well behaved volcanoes.They do however erupt continuously for long periods of time, Kilauea is perhaps, the most active volcano on Earth.
No. Mount Vesuvius is a stratovolcano, but Kilauea is a shield volcano.
