All things being equal, and there being nothing extraordinary going on, you could have been given property 180 days after your bankruptcy was filed. You could have bought property the day after you filed bankruptcy assuming you disclosed the source of the money to the bankruptcy court.

Yes. Property you acquire after you filed the Ch. 7 is yours free and clear of discharged creditors-unless the pre-petition creditor had a security interest in the property.

Yes, assuming nothing unusual about your case. It is impossible to answer these questions unequivocally without looking at the BK file.
