YOu cannot receive unemployment if you return to work.
yes
Yes, those are two different things. You have the right to your pension regardless of whether you get unemployment and whether or not an individual has a pension (or severance) does not matter when reviewing an unemployment application.
Yes you can file
You can still draw unemployment while having a pension provided you meet all other qualifications. The amount of the pension will probably be deducted from your UI benefits, however.
It is possible to receive unemployment and a pension in California under certain conditions specified in Section 1255.3 . You will receive full unemployment benefits if you contributed to the pension fund that is being distributed. (Examples for Federal Benefits include Social Security, Railroad Retirement and the Civil Service Retirement System CSRS, and FERS) Plans that did not require any employee contribution are not exempt and will have unemployment benefits reduced by the amount of the payment. For the complete California law go to the Related Link below. Yes, you can collect California unemployment benefits when you have a pension. However, according to the Pension or Retirement; A. Pension Law - Section 1255.3 (a), found in the Related Link below, the benefit shall be reduced, but not below 0, by an amount of the pension attributable to the benefits in that week. This is correct but I would follow up this answer with what if you started receiving pension from previous employers from 10 years back and is not the base employer. Will this too be deducted from your UI? Thanks

It's possible it could. This depends on the particular state's laws regarding the type of pension, the structure of the pension, amount of offset against the unemployment benefit, etc.
Yes.
No, your pension income is for supporting you and your family.
The amount of pension you will receive depends on factors such as your years of service, salary, and the specific pension plan you are enrolled in. It is best to contact your pension provider for an accurate estimate of your pension benefits.
