It depends on the religion and it depends on the wall. Often times, people pray in front of a wall due to the religious significance of the wall or any buildings that previously used or required that wall.

It is not true. Muslims face the direction of Kaba (or The Grand Mosque in Makkah or Mecca) in Makkah (or Mecca) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. If the wall is facing Kaba then they face the wall bit it is not necessary to have a wall facing the Kaba to pray facing this wall.
You have to face the wall because you need to face the ka'bah _______________________________________________________ It is not true that you have to face a wall when a Muslim is praying. During praying, you; as Muslim; should face the direction of Kaba (or AlMasjid AlHaram) in Makkah (or Mecca) in Saudi Arabia.
It doesn't face anything, since it is the spiritual center of the world. Rather, we face toward the Ark when we pray (Talmud, Berakhot 30a).The ark is positioned on the wall closest to the city of Jerusalem (typically the Eastern Wall in the United States and Europe, but the Western Wall in China and India).
Muslims pray facing the Qibla i.e. Kaaba in Makkah in Saudi Arabia.
First, it is not called the Wailing Wall. It used to be called the Wailing Wall but now it is the "Western Wall" or the Kotel.Second, nobody prays to the wall. People go to the wall to pray to God. Prayer is very personal and individual, and people pray in many different ways.Read more: Why_is_the_wailing_wall_called_the_wailing_wall
Catholics do not have to face east when they pray. They can face any direction. Muslims turn towards Mecca when they pray which may be east depending upon the location of the person.
No. They face Mecca.
Most people pray at the western wall.
both temples of Jerusalem were destroyed. the only remaining wall is called the "Western Wall" where Jews go and pray. many pray every day and visitors to Jerusalem go to the wall to pray and leave notes for "Hashem" to read.
Jews pray facing the east-in the direction of Jerusalem
No, they face Mecca.
The qibla wall is a wall in a mosque which is usually beautifully decorated. It is also called a prayer wall.The wall is used because it faces Mecca, which is the birth place of the Islamics main prophet Mohamed. I feel smart......
Jews pray at the Western Wall, which is in Jerusalem, Israel. In Hebrew, it is known as the Kotel Ha'ma'aravi, but most people just refer to it as the "Kotel".
