Same-sex marriage is not related to polygamy, just as interracial marriage or interdenominational marriage has nothing to do with polygamy.

Polygamy is a type of marriage where one is married to more than one person. It is usually where a man marries more than one woman but it can include a woman marrying more than one man.
There is no evidence to indicate that it will, although the argument is sometimes used by opponents. In fact, opposite-sex marriage is the one that has its roots in polygamy, notably in the Old Testament. One country that legalized polygamy in 2014, Kenya, is extremely homophobic. Same-sex marriage is not legal there, and any type of same-sex sexual activity is considered a crime punishable by law. So, as far as trends go on the polygamy scene, same-sex marriage definitely does not go hand-in-hand with polygamy, rather polygamy flourishes only in cultures with extreme anti-gay bias.

This depends on the state. In many states, common law marriages or cohabitation with multiple people of the opposite gender can be considered polygamy.

Yes. Polygamy was even permitted in the time of Christ. It was only after the influence of the Roman empire that multiple marriage arrangements became discouraged.
Plural marriage means polygamy or polygyny. Basically, it can mean, for example, having more than one wife.
