well,first question-the answer is that buddha's greatest teaching is always with regard to non-violence towards all of creation...so keeping that in mind,hopefully many buddhists are vegetarian.
2,- reincarnation and rebirth are the same yes,and happens thousands of times,we keep being reborn until we realise nirvana.
3,-buddha did beat himself,but that was only before he decided to take the middle path.he decided to be moderate in his spiritual practices,as nothing at all came out of doing severe penances and austerities.
4,-buddhists worshipping buddha,that could be a wonderful thing according to me,since he is worthy of such veneration.worship and devotion to such a divine person could take us to higher levels of spirituality.
5,all buddhists are monks?nooo...take me for example,im hindu and yet,i believe in buddha heart and soul.
