Three teams in the division can make it to the playoffs. 12 teams in total qualify for the playoffs, 6 in the AFC and 6 in the NFC. The division winners from each conference are the top 4 seeds. There are 4 divisions in each conference, so that's 8 teams. The remaining four make up the wild card teams. the next 2 best teams who are not division winners in the NFC and the next 2 best teams from the AFC also qualify for the playoffs, which are the 5 and 6 seeds. It is possible that both wildcard winners in either conference, are in the same division, as long as they have the next 2 best records.
Yes, in the 2006 playoffs, the Giants, Eagles, and Cowboys all made in from the NFC East.
Yes.
In the NFL playoffs, teams play each other strictly by seed (3 plays 6 and 4 plays 5). Also, if the division winner was a 3 or 4 seed and the two wildcard teams came from that division, it would not be possible to keep teams from the same division from meeting in the wildcard round.
This in different than the MLB playoffs where the wildcard team cannot play their division winner.
Yes. In fact, it might happen this year. The Carolina Panthers might win the NFC South, but the Atlanta Falcons and Tampa Bay Buccaneers both could win wild card slots.

What is the playoff format for the American and national league division and the World Series?
As you know there can be 4 teams in the Playoffs, the 6 Division Winners and the 2 Wild Card winners from both the American and National Leagues. The team with the best record in either division will play the Wild Card winner for their league but if their Wild Card winner is in the same division as them then they'll play against the team in their same league who has the 2nd best record. How it determines who holds home field advantage for the Division Series and the League Championship Series is based on their Regular Season record but this only applies to the Divisional Winners, Wild Card winners can never have home field advantage during the Divisional Series or the League Championship Series. The World Series' home field advantage is as you know based on the outcome of the All Star Baseball game.
Who does the wildcard team play in the MLB playoffs?
That would depend on what team has the best winning percentage in the league. Generally, the wild card team plays the division winner with the best winning percentage. However, if the division winner with the best winning percentage is in the same division as the wild card team, then the wild card team will play the division winner with the second best winning percentage and the division winner with the best winning percentage will play the other division winner. MLB is the only major sport that sets up their playoff system this way. This would keep the Yankees and Red Sox from playing in the first round of the playoffs.
Wild card in baseball?
In most cases, the division winner with the best overall season record plays the wildcard team and the other two division winners play each other. But, in the case where the wildcard team and the division winner with the best overall record come from the same division, the division winner with the second overall best record plays the wildcard team and the division winner with the best overall record plays the division winner with the third best overall record. Confusing? Kinda, and kinda not really fair either, but MLB does not want two teams from the same division playing each other in the first round of the playoffs.

What if there's a tie with mlb wild card teams?
MLB conducts a coin toss prior to the conclusion of the season. All teams who have the possibility of being the wild card (or the possibility of a tie for division winner) are included and all possible scenarios are covered. The team winning the coin toss hosts a one-game playoff to see which team advances as the wild card, or which team wins the division, if that is the case. If two teams are tied for thhe division lead, and also tied with a team from another division for the wild card, the two teams tied for the division lead will have their tie-breaker game played first. The winner of that game is the division champ, and the loser of that game plays a one game tie-breaker against the team from the other division to determine the wild card.
