Well, in the Major Leagues in 1981 there were 26 teams, 12 in the National League and 14 in the American League. Each team had 25 players. So that means there were 650 players in the Major Leagues at any one time.
No. Both the American and National Leagues must follow the same rules listed in the Official MLB Rules. The only difference between the leagues is that the National Leagues chooses not to use the Designated Hitter rule. Both leagues have the option to use that rule if they want to, but it is not mandatory for any league to use it in any game.

Certainly- there was very good minor league baseball on the coast long before any major league expansion. The leagues were mostly, if not all, independent of the major league teams and so they did not readily give up their stars.

A split contract is typically one that's signed by players who have prior major league experience and are signed to a minor league contract. Generally they are given an invitation to the major league clubs Spring Training. A split contract includes separate salary rates while they're in the minor leagues and while they are on the Major League club. The major league minimum salary is currently $400,000 for an 183 day season. If the player is assigned to the minor leagues at any point in the season he'll earn a daily rate of at least 60% of the total of his minor and major league salary from the previous season.
If you play well in high school, you will get scouted. There is an officially players draft where teams have a chance to take any player they want and hold the rights for them. You can decline and go to college, or sign, but you will have to sign only with the team that drafted you. Then, you will be sent to the minor leagues, where the best will be promoted one by one to the major leagues.
