when you hang drywall, you have to tape off the seams with paper tape and "mud", then "float" the mud smooth. the drywall float is a flat metal tool on a handle that you drag across the mud to smooth it out, like when you smooth out the icing on a cake
Paper drywall tape is the same both sides.
There is paper tape and fibre mesh tape.
Yes, mesh type drywall tape usually has adhesive on one side.
Common drywall taping tools can come from a regular roll of drywall tape to expensive, self measuring drywall tape. There is either self adhesive mesh tape and the paper tape variety. Paper tape is usually used for the corners of a room as it will hold better. Pyramid blades can also be used to lay the tape flat, especially in the corners.
All questions like this depend on the market you are in and where you are geographically. You haven't told us either one
If it's small spread mesh tape over it, then mud it. If bigger than doorknob size, put a patch of drywall into it then mesh tape and mud.
My personal preference is mesh tape, I can always get a better finish with it.
They install drywall, sometimes tape and mud it also, although commercially that is a more specialised job.
I tape the broken vapour barrier with red 'Tuck' tape then put a wood backing in the hole and use small pieces of drywall to patch.

A drywall taper is the person who comes in after the drywall (plasterboard ) is hung and puts mud (spackling) on the joints and then seals the joints with a line of paper tape then covers the tape with more spackle This is then allowed to dry , is sanded smooth and a second layer of spackle is applied
