All quasars are located at a great distance from us. Of the quasars discovered, they range from between 780 million and 28 billion light years away.
Because of these distances and the velocity of light, we are seeing them early on in the creation of the Universe. They are very rare they have only found about 20 or so.

Quasars are galaxies that are about 100 times brighter than a normal galaxy. This energy production is related to mass falling into a supermassive black hole. Most quasars are very far away, meaning they were more common when the Universe was younger.
Quasars are related to supermassive black holes, and those are located at the center of galaxies.
The black holes that power quasars are still there. They are simply not as active as when they were young; pressumably because not as much matter falls into them.
Quasars are the unusual type of active galaxy in the universe.
The steady state theory was disproved by observations in the sense that at larger distances, the Universe doesn't look the same as nearby. This means the Universe has changed over time, directly contradicting the main assumption of the steady state theory. - I am not sure to what extent quasars were involved, but quasars do tend to show up more frequently at greater distances, i.e., in the early Universe.
The evidence for the extreme distance is the extreme redshift. Also, in many cases, a coincidence has been found between a quasar and a galaxy.The evidence for the extreme distance is the extreme redshift.

Sure; please note that black holes are among the brightest objects in the Universe. For more details, do some reading about quasars. Briefly, some quasars shine as bright as a hundred galaxies - and a quasar is a black hole.
Quasars still exist.

The Universe - 2007 Pulsars and Quasars 4-10 was released on: USA: 27 October 2009
Quasars are brightly glowing powerful "engines" of the Universe. Usually they surround black holes and glow when material funnels in. According to Astronomer Maarten Schmidt there are 100 times less quasars now than 10 billion years ago.
Yes, quasars are the most luminous objects in the universe.
There are about 12,000 known quasars today. I'm sure that as our telescopes get better, that number will go up. As a guess, I would estimate a lot.
A huge structure of pulsars/quasars which defies the cosmological constant.
The fact that most quasars are very distant means they were like that when the Universe was quite a bit younger than it is today.

Quasars are related to supermassive black holes in the center of galaxies.
Quasars do not have galaxies in them, quasars are at the hearts of galaxies. All quasars are located in galaxies, as a quasar involves massive amounts of material falling into a supermassiv black hole. Neither of these can be found outside of a galaxy.
Quasars emit more energy than anything else in the universe. Quasars are massive black holes at the cores of some galaxies, swallowing matter and stars and ejecting them out collimated bipolar jets of matter and radiation which stretch out hundreds of thousands of light years. Since there are quasars in galaxies close by, these indicate the evolution of our universe.
No. Pretty much everything in the Universe is moving away from pretty much everything else in the Universe. This is because the Universe is expanding.
