You can likely file an immigrant visa and adjustment application for her, but you will need to review timing to see if it truly makes sense, or if she would be better off with consular processing.

Yes, if you are over 21 and a US citizen, you can file an I-130 petition for your mother.

Generally, yes. If your mother entered legally, and you are a citizen, you can apply for her. Good luck!

Yes, if she entered the US lawfully and you are a US citizen, you can petition for your mother's permanent residence.

You may want to invest in a consultation with an attorney to see what can be done and advise you on how to proceed. Immigration is Federal so any experienced Immigration Attorney can speak with you about the case. I handle cases all over the United States and do consultations over the telephone for those out of town.

Yes. You can apply for your mom's green card during her visit in the US. Just make sure that she doesn't leave the US until she receives her green card.

Barring no inadmissibility, you can sponsor your mother for residency.

Yes is the short answer, but all immigration questions are complex and fact intensive, so you should speak with an attorney before you do anything.
