If a ball is intercepted in the defended endzone (the endzone the defense is trying to , it is considered a touchback and the ball will be brought out the to twenty yard line, just like a kickoff that is fielded in the endzone. If the intercepting player spikes the ball, he might get called for a penalty, but only if he is, in the eyes of the official, celebrating excessively. If the ball is intercepted by the defense in the opponents endzone it would be a touch down.

Yes. If not advanced out of the end zone, ball is placed at the 20. If advanced, whereever it makes it. Note that if the player runs around but does not cross the end zone line it remains a touchback.

No. The ball is placed at the one yard line. If the original spot was at the 1 yard line or less, it's half the distance to the goal.

Ball is intercepted in the end zone and a penalty occurs by the intercepting team in the end zone. Is this a safety?

It really depends on the penalty and wherethe ball carrier is. If ball would be spoted where the penalty occured, yes. If the ball carrier didn't make it out of the end zone, it is a touch back and the penalty yards will be assessed from the 20 yd line. If he did make it out, the penalty yards will be assessed from he was downed or, he scores a touchdown they will be assessed on the ensuing kickoff. Yes. A penalty committed by a team in possession of the ball in its own end zone results in a safety.

Can the ball touch the ground and still be a catch?

A "touchback" is when a change of possession occurs in the end zone of the defending team and the ball is downed without bringing it back into the field of play. This could occur any number of ways: A kickoff going into the end zone (and/or out-of-bounds), an interception, a forward-fumble into the end zone, etc. In any of these cases, the ball is "downed" in the end zone, but it does not have to physically touch the ground. A person who has intercepted the ball or received a kick in the end zone can take a knee or run out of bounds with the ball.
