In addition to building stronger muscles and connective tissues, a huge benefit of strength training is that, done properly, it increase lean muscle mass. This is important because muscle is much more active metabolically than fat. Increasing your amount of lean muscle mass will increase the calories your body uses 24 hours a day, which means improved body composition. The better your body composition, the healthier you are likely to be.
Strength training focuses on strengthening muscles and joints. It also improves balance and increases metabolism. Weightlifting is the most common form of strength training.

I am not an expert. But: Strength training causes small tears in the muscle fibers. Provided proper nutrition and rest, the damaged muscle tissue is rebuilt stronger in anticipation of more heavy weights. This process continues until the muscles are fully adapted and no longer damaged from the strength training. In order to continue building muscle, heavier weights are then required to causes damage to the muscle fibers once more.

Yes. I believe that the stronger you are physically in your muscles, the healthier you will be. Now for some body types, muscular strength from weight training is not needed as much as aerobics or other good exercising types. So be careful in your training and pick what is right for your body type.
Knees are joints, and not muscles, so weight training strength training will not change their appearance or shape. The quadriceps and hamstring muscle groups control the bending of the knee, so squats and hammy raises would make them stronger.
Sometimes, yes. It really just means stronger muscles, size or not. However, size will often help, too.
