The game clock stops when a ball carrier goes out of bounds maintaining forward momentum. The game clock continues if the ball carrier's forward momentum is stopped in bounds before he goes out of bounds.

For most of the game, the clock is restarted when the line judge resets the ball and whistles play to continue. The exception is in the last 2 minutes of the first half or the last 5 minutes of the second half. In those cases, the clock does not start again until the offense snaps the ball.

Yes. The clock stop and then restarts when the ball is thrown in and touches a player.
That is partially correct but not in most situations. The clock does not stop even if the ball is out of bounce. It only stops when there are only a couple of minutes/seconds left in a quarter, especially the 4th when it is a tight game.

Yes, the clock stops when a player goes out of bounds, not only in NFL playoff games but in any football game at any level. The only exception is if the player's forward momentum is stopped before reaching the sideline.

Yes. Not only does the clock stop for touchdowns, but for any score.

Yes, when a fumbled ball goes out of bounds, the clock is to be stoped.

No it depends on if it is a running clock or not.
