Yes. When a player signals for a "fair catch," this only means they must be given the opportunity to catch the ball without the threat of being hit, with the stipulation that they cannot advance it. Once the ball hits the ground, the opportunity has been given and the fair catch is off. The player may then touch the ball, advance it, etc.
No. In Professional Football, in order to be "down" a receiver has to be tackled or in your scenario touched by a defensive player while on the ground.
In order to complete a catch, a receiver must maintain possession throughout the entire process. In the field of play, the ball can be bobbled so long as the player ends the catch in bounds with control of the ball. However, if a player does not have full possession of the ball as he goes out of bounds, or the catch is in any way aided by the ground, it is considered incomplete.
In soccer, it means to legally catch the ball with your body. In Field Hockey, trapping is catching the ball by pinning it between the stick and the ground, after which the player can move with the ball. In US football, it means that a forward pass is ruled incomplete because the player did not cleanly catch the pass, but caught it between his body and the ground.
No, the offensive line can't catch a pass
Yes only if it doesn't touch the ground!
You have to make the catch without using the ground. You have to have at least 1 foot down and you can't have the ground cause a fumble.

The fair catch signal is a hand gesture made by a player on the receiving team in football to indicate that they will not attempt to advance the ball after catching a punt or kickoff. This allows the player to catch the ball without being tackled, and the opposing team must give the player space to make the catch safely.
Yes.
To signal a fair catch in football, a player must raise one arm above their head and wave it back and forth before attempting to catch the ball. This alerts the opposing team not to interfere with the catch.
No the hands of the eligable reciever have to have a part in completeing a cetch in the nfl u can use any part of your body for control but the hands have to be used to make a reception The above answer is essentially correct, however the pass is not ruled incomplete until the ball touches the ground. So a player can catch the ball between his legs as long as he then retrieves it with his hands and demonstrates control without the ball ever touching the ground.
