1.1. it will be on everything. however, if you already booked and have been issued ticket numbers for upcoming trips before you were gold, you may want to call and have your status refreshed so it is shown in those trips. if you book any future trips, your status will be reflected.

2. sure, but gold benefits (luggage/priorityAAccess checkin/expedited security) will not apply to them unless you are traveling with them. no minimum age req for aadvantage, and they will get miles and EQM if they are flying on a non-award (redemption) ticket

3. security checks- in general, arriving from an international flight will require you to go through security before your domestic flight. in general, there won't be a security check to transfer between domestic-domestic flight, though there may be a couple of exceptions to this

happy travels!
