Marching bands DO play at home football games, and parades.
Not in the same manner as today. Bands grew out of the military, where they would play in parade with soldiers on the march. Full shows performed on football fields didn't develop until much later.
Bands don't have a string section if they are classed as brass, silver or marching band. If they are a "dance band" similar to that we see in the period of Glen Miller then they would have had double bass
Speaking from personal experience, I can tell you right away that marching band takes a lot of dedication and hard work. You have to memorize the music, then memorize the drill for the music. The drill is the marching that you do while you play on the field. To top it all off, you have to put the two together. Now, some bands are "contest bands", which means they actually compete. Other bands are "show bands" which basically means they just play at football games or whatever, but not as a competition. The show bands tend to not have as complicated music or drills, but even so, it could take some work. Also, I've seen show bands that use lyres, which holds their music for them. So, really, show bands are much easier than contest bands. Just to clarify, the contest bands take A LOT of work if you want to be any good, and the show bands take work too, but aren't as difficult. Hope I answered your question!

Yes The Clarinet also is used in marching bands, jazz bands, and as a solo instrument.
No. It mostly plays in marching bands and/or brass assembles.
yes they do and in my opinion it's the best part of the band....

Some bands play in competitions over the summer, others compete in the fall. Many bands perform halftime shows at high school and college football games. And of course many bands play in various parades (4th of July, homecoming, etc.)

Clarinets are used in any and every musical ensemble. Symphonic bands, symphonic orchestras, jazz, marching bands... Some places even have clarinet choirs devoted entirely to the various clarinets.

Typically they would play the school fight song, and perhaps The Star Spangled Banner. They would likely play many other songs as well. However, I'm afraid that no specific song has ever been universally performed by every high school marching band in the country.
The trumpet is a wonderful instrument with a bright, penetrating, sound. It is loud, meaning that it's cheerful sound can easily be heard in marching bands, drum corps, orchestras, jazz bands, and many other ensembles. If you want to play, go for it! It's never too late to learn.
