I believe you are referring to a kata. A kata is a series of moves that are used to teach basic principles of the style.
Karate blocks are called uke in Japanese. We pronounce it as "ooke"
karate started around 1700 ad.
THis is a martial arts like karate. It invloves kicking, punching, blocks and forms. It was originated in Japan.
Yes as long as you teach it physical attacks like karate chop.
It depends on the style of karate, and most styles have more then one. For example, Tang Soo Do has only the parry block (the rest of the "blocks" are actually strikes), yet tae kwon jitsu has low x-block, high block, reverse outside block etc.
Yes, you need your senses to do karate. While vision is most important, sound can be valuable as well.

I believe that because the Koreans are taller than most Japanese, taekwondo was based around kicks as it was easier and kicks have more power than punches. Karate, like-wise, is based on punches because it was harder for most Japanese to kick at the height of a Korean's head. That being said.. taekwondo still has plenty of strikes and blocks as karate has many kicks
Karate is a martial art. It originated in Okinawa around 200 years ago.
Traditional Okinawa karate does not require high kicks. In Shorin Ryu, we are told that kicking above the waist is dangerous in combat situations. It leaves you off balance and vulnerable to counter attacks.

It is believed that far back, that the martial arts of India influenced what has become known as karate. Tradition has it that the creator of Kung Fu was an Indian prince that had been trained in India before moving to China. Kung Fu is one of the building blocks used to create karate combining it with Okinawa wrestling.
