Say white gets their pawn to the other side. They upgrade it to a queen. It is now black's turn. White can't move their new queen right after upgrading without black's turn going by.
The knights can make the first move in chess.
No, a player gets only one move at a time. Once the player moves the pawn to the back rank, the pawn is promoted to any piece the player chooses. Then it is the other player's move. Thus it is possible to checkmate the other king immediately upon the pawn's promotion.
This power of moving two spaces on the Pawn's first move was done , to make the game more interesting and to enable 'en passant' capture(s) , in the 15th Century .
A pawn may move forward either one or two spaces when making the pawn's first move.
A pawn by itself with no other pawn on its side to move up to protect it is called an isolated pawn.
The pawn may move forward twice on its first move, but after that it may not move more than one forward. -Buslog
A pawn can kill dianguly foward or backward and move only 1 space at a time. (or two at the first move of the pawn)

Assuming you're talking about en passant in chess I'll explain. Say you haven't moved a pawn and there is another pawn threatening the space one up from your pawn. Suppose you move your pawn two spaces up taking it out of harms way of your opponents pawn. En passant is when they move to the space that you would've moved to if you'd only moved the pawn up one . They take you piece and take the space you would've moved to. This move only works with pawns.
No. Your pawn is promoted as soon as the move finishes but you do not get an extra turn.
There are generally two ways:- 1. Conventional rule: in which a pawn facing diagonally and closest to other pawn( of different colour), it can capture that pawn and acquire its position. 2. En Passant: It is french method which has been prevailing in International format of Chess. When the pawn is placed in initial position and facing the second pawn( of different colour) in conventional way( as mentioned in first method), suppose it moves two squares to avoid clash; however, second pawn can capture it by considering the first pawn 's move only by single square and acquire position one square less to the movement of first pawn.
