Yes.

No. It used to be the winner was allowed one item. But now you may not
loot the body at all.

No. There is no time expiration or anything like that. Once both people
agree on a duel, it does not end until one person dies or flees (zones).

Dueling is stirctly between the two people. No one else may interfere in
anyway. PvP or not, grouped or not, the fight is only between the 2. I
take that back, if there is another NPC nearby, it might decide to join
in. The no interference rule only applies to other PC's.

If you're grouped, then only bellow will work. Most of the bard songs are
either non-party only or party only. So you probably don't want to due
another bard until you disband. On a side note, when you're in a duel,
you may not heal/buff other people in your group either (unless one of
them is dueling you) until the duel is over.

> 6. If you're dueling in a PVP area, can other people enter the fight?

No, a duel is strictly one-on-one. If you're looking for a brawl, you
can go to one of those PvP area and start fighting without issuing or
accepting a duel.
