1. generally no, but they vary from brand to brand. Usually it is a mixture in no particular order or quantity Cinnamon Cardamon Clove Ginger
2. every apple desert in my 1970 cook book calls for cinnamon that's it.
3. Quite likely it is a deletion of the word "pie" in one reference. Apple pie spice can be made by combining ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg and ground allspice. A dash of ground cloves add to the overall flavor, too. Store your homemade apple pie spice in a glass jar and keep away from heat and light, both of which age and weaken the flavors. I keep many spices in my refrigerator. Good luck!
4. I use acinnamon and cloves and nutmeg on things that go with apples like pie and apple sauce. to a teaspoon of cinnamon I put 1/8teaspoon each of cloves and nutmeg, This can be mixed to your liking but be careful with cloves and nutmeg they are very powerful It might be easier for you to get a jar of pumpkin pie spice at the grocery and use it with extra cinnamon . Hope that this helps
5. there is a big difference and yes
