Elephant ivory is very valuable. Small items, such as bracelets or necklaces, which are smaller than the palm of your hand, can be worth about $100-150. Bigger items can be $200-250.

In most countries of the world it is now illegal to import/export or sell animal ivory (including elephant) objects. The exception is that the Ivory has to be provable to be ancient ivory (it has to have a CITES certificate).
I would therefore suggest that you ivory is worthless as you could never sell it legally.
Doesn't really matter, since all trade in ivory - which tusks are made of - is banned to protect the elephants from poaching.
Only ivory that's legal to buy and own is antique pieces, and it's really hard to set an average price on that.
Elephants tusk & any artifact related to them are forbidden to trade today after is has been in 1989 but all pieces of elephant ivory before 1989 are legal to trade but if you wish to export them out of your country you should have cites certificate for it otherwise it will be stuck at the custom.
The price of carved elephant ivory tusk is depends onh the age of the tusk , condition & of course the size of it - it can start from $300 - $20,000.
Doesn't really matter, as there's an international ban on trading in them to protect elephants from poaching. The only ones that are legal to trade in are ones classified as antiques - if you dare to trust such a document.
Depending on the country, between 2 an life imprisonment.
Nothing any more, unless it was obtained before the abolition of the ivory trade.

How strong is the elephant tusk?
Usually in mammals tusks are enlarged canine teeth but in elephants they are actually elongated incisors. Tusks are essentially no different from other teeth. A third of the tusk is actually hidden from view, embedded deep into the elephant's head. This part of the tusk is a pulp cavity made up of tissue, blood and nerves. The visible, ivory part of the tusk is made of dentine with an outer layer of enamel. Elephant ivory is unique which when viewed in cross-section reveals criss-cross lines that form a series of diamond shapes. Elephants tusk never stop growing so some old bulls display enormous examples. However the average size of tusks has decreased over the past hundred years because hunting elephants for their ivory has resulted in the 'big tusk gene' becoming increasingly rare.
