The pitcher is on the mound so he can't charge it. The batter charges it from the plate.
yes
There is no time limit addressed in the official MLB rules. This is left up to the discretion of the home plate umpire. But, if the manager is still on the mound after 15-20 seconds the umpire will start his walk to the mound to break things up.
The strip is called "the rubber". I am an umpire and this is what i know it as. I am not sure if it is the official name, but if you say the term in context to the strip on the mound, anyone who knows baseball will know what you mean. It is unlikely that the term will be confused with anything else as everyone from announcers to umpire use it.

The Play is over when the umpire calls time. Does not matter where the ball is. the Umpire has to determine if the play if over.
There is a pitcher's circle but no actual mound of dirt. There is a pitcher's circle but no actual mound of dirt.
Nobody can go to the mound unless the umpire has ruled that time has been called. This will not occur until after the home run hitter has completed his run (walk?) around the bases.
Yes, but the umpire has the right to shorten the meeting to allow players to reposition without causing a delay in the game.
