It depends on the wording of sentence in the statute passed by your state legislature.
No, not in my experience altho it can depend on the wording of the statute in various jurisdictions.
They are closely related. An act is what creates a statute. Often the statute as referred to by the act that created it. A statute is what is actually enacted into law and shows up in the record books where it is references by the law enforcement community and attorneys. It has all the 'Resolved" and similar language removed from it and shows only the exact wording.
It can be worded differently in different states according to the wording of the statute, but it is usually: 'Possession With The Intent To Distribute." (PWID)
It can vary from state to state. It depends entirely on the wording of the statute that your state legislature passed.
Depending upon the wording of the statute and the circumstances, yes, it can be. A constantly barking dog that cannot, or will not, be controlled by the owner, and disturbs the neighbors can be deemed to be disturbing the peace (or a 'public nuisance' or however the appropriate statute may be worded).

It can depend on the wording of the statute in your particular jurisdiction. In some, if you drink alcohol in plain view of passers-by, you are considered to be "consuming alcohol in public."
The "Letter of the Law" is the exact wording of the law (statute), and how it's interpreted. It's often the counterpart to "Spirit of the Law", which represents the the law's intention.
Depends upon the specific wording of the statute in your jurisdiction but probably, yes. Was it done intentionally? ANY unwanted 'touching' is technically an assault.
It depends on the wording of the statute of the jurisdiction in which the offense was committed. It varies from state-to-state, usually governed by the dollar amount of the damage.
The wording of your sentence must be clear.
