Unless your karate school is strict.. you should be fine using a bandage wrap, if it is for health or injury related purposes. =]

That depends on the situation and the rules in place. Some competitions do not allow wraps as they are usually held in place with metal tabs, which can cause injuries. For training on one's own it shouldn't be an issue, for sparring it could be.
Ace is a brand name. We often use brand names when asking for something and really do not pay much attention to it. For example, make a xerox copy for me, or give me a kleenex (for facial tissue), or Scotch Tape (instead of adhesive tape), or do you have a Band-Aid. Really these are brand names. It's the same for Ace Bandage. It is a brand name. It really is an elastic bandage.Ace is a brand name. We often use brand names when asking for something and really do not pay much attention to it.

If you have a new piercing that has to keep the ring or stud in for a few weeks, I would certainly recommend covering with tape and would allow it in class. I would not allow someone to spar while wearing them, the risk of injury and damage is too great. Removing the stud for an hour long class shouldn't be an issue, but consult your piercer (I always recommend going to a doctor).
Ordinary scotch tape is not archival. It contains acids that will degrade paper in a relatively short time. Scotch brand (R) may produce archival quality tape, but you won't normally find it at your local Walmart. Go to an arts and crafts store like Utrecht to find appropriate materials.
Using tape and a level, place tape on the areas you do not want the stripes to be, and go bananas on the wall. After it dries, remove the tape. Be sure to use the level, as it ensures the stripes are straight.
