The fastest touchdown scored at the start of a game in NFL history was by Randal Williams of the Cowboys when he returned an onside kick 37 yards for a TD against the Philadelphia Eagles on October 12, 2003. The official clock had only ticked three seconds off.
That was on December 19, 2010 against the Jaguars when Tyjuan Hagler recovered an onside kick and took it 41 yards for a TD. The last non-onside returned for a TD was on December 17, 2009 when Chad Simpson returned a kickoff 93 yards for a TD against the Jags.
Yes. However, according to NFL Rules: " If ball hits ground or is touched by member of kicking team in flight, fair catch signal is off and all rules for a kicked ball apply. " Therefore, if the onside kick touches the ground, it may not be fair caught. Since the vast, vast majority of onside kicks are on the ground, it would be a rare sight to see an onside kick fair caught.

A squib kick is a kick where it is shorter than a regular kickoff but longer than a short onside kick, often in the last few seconds in the half. It is still an onside kick, so it can be recovered by the kicking team. In case you have no idea how long it is, it is often 25 yards or so, and it's usually kicked low to the ground, so the receiving team can't fair catch it. Squib kicks are important because I don't think it has ever been returned.
The packers are going to recover this onside kick
The onside kick from scrimmage was eliminated, in the collegiate game, before WWI -- around 1912, I believe. The NFL started in 1920. So I guess the answer is -- never. In the NFL, an onside kick is only possible on a kickoff or on a free kick after a safety. But has there ever been an onside drop kick? I don't know, but lets consider why that would rarely (if ever) happen: Kickoffs are required to be a place kick (from a tee). So the only time you could even attempt an onside drop kick is after a safety, which is one of the rarest plays in football. An onside kick after a safety is very dangerous, as the kick must be from the 20 yard line. The opponent could recover the ball already in field goal range. An onside kick must hit the ground to prevent the other team from calling for a fair catch. This is more difficult to pull off with a drop kick.
