First, regarding the period of self employment, forget unemployment benefits as you would not qualify. As to working for someone else, each state has its own rules on eligibility. Generally speaking, they take the first 4 1/4's of the last 5 quarters and take the average or the highest 1/4 (again depending on the particular state). Then each state has its formula of calculating the benefits, compared to the average weekly benefit, etc. Therefore, you might receive some benefit for the last 4 months, but you need to check with your own state's unemployment office.
You have to be employed at a company for 90 days to qualify for unemployment. In most cases you'll get 50% of your check.
yes.
You have to be employed full time for at least 6 months. If you get it it last one year.

The state of Kansas has unemployment extension in place after three months of the state reaching unemployment of 6.5 percent. If an extension is granted it is good for 13 months.
Yes, in most cases, especially if it is an approved course/institution. Bear in mind, you still have to initially qualify for benefits with a work history, etc. and need to comply with the requirements of seeking full time employment, etc., which is generally hard to do if going to school full time and during the day.
No. Once you start working again (especially for 3 or 4 months), your unemployment stops.
