The parish priest should administer anointing of the sick.
yes
A bishop or a priest is normally the ministers of the sacrament of Anointing of the Sick.
A priest is the ordinary minister of the Sacrament of the Sick.
It is not necessarily given during the anointing of the sick, but can be if requested.
Because anointing of the sick forgives all sins and only priests can do that
In Catholicism, the anointing of the sick is when a priest gives last rights to one who is on their death bed, praying for God to take the soul into heaven.

Roman Catholic AnswerThe Bishop or priest is the proper celebrant of the Anointing of the Sick. It is one of the seven Sacraments and gives grace, and health of soul and body.
Viaticum is the Holy Eucharist as administered to those who are dying or in danger of death. It is usually administered during the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick. However, if no priest is available for the anointing, an Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist may provide the Eucharist to the person but they would be unable to anoint the person or hear their confession.
The priest normally wears whatever color stole that he already has on for that day, or another sacrament. For instance, he would most usually have a violet stole on as normally he would hear the confession of the person before he anointed him. Conversely, if he is called to the scene of an accident or to a hospital for an emergency anointing, the small stole that priests carry with them is violet. However, if the priest is anointing people, for instance, after Mass, then whatever color stole he had on for that Mass would be what he wore for the Sacrament of Anointing. Anointing itself does not call for a particular color of stole.
I believe YES.
