To win a hand in tournament poker you must show your cards. So yes, you still must reveal.

Yes

If there is action yet to come then you may not reveal anything. It has to do with the rule that says you can't use/say anything which may change the action.

If you are last to act, with no action ahead of you, then you may show to get a read.

CAUTION: This specific move should be cleared with the dealer the first time as some casinos don't allow any showing.

Actually, the reason for waiting, is to look at other players as they see their cards, for tells. Your cards aren't going anywhere. Use the time constructively. One particular trick for finding a novice used to be if they look right away. I'm finding that even good players do it nowadays.

No.. that could be construed as a string call.

Now... if you announce raise, then you may do it how you like.

I usually announce raise, then put in the call so the dealer can do his/her housework, then I put out the raise.

You may also sit quietly counting up your call and raise, and then put it all out. AT ONCE. Never make two moves with your bet or the first move will count only. Unless it's not enough, in which case the dealer will make you put the propper amount in.

Announce first and your safe. You don't have to announce the amount. Just the intention. Also, if you announce raise, you must raise.

Again, other than a showdown in which everybody flips... To win a hand, you gotta show your hand.
