Answer 1

This picture is circa 2004. As you can see, the oceans release about 92 GigaTons of Carbon/year and absorb about 90 GTC/year. The balance of this exchange is new. Historically, oceans have always acted as "sink" or dissolved more carbon  that it released. With the oceans warmer now, the opposite is now true.

Answer 2

Easy.  Upper right hand corner.

If you also read the article, you'll know a WHOLE LOT more about sources and sinks of CO2.

I wouldn't pass up pegminers answer either, if you really want to understand this.

Answer 3

Roy Spencer has touched on this issue a bit, it is difficult to partition and purely theoretical, of course so is AGW.

Answer 4

I think you need to go back to the original source, which was a paper by Revelle and Suess in Tellus 1957. I don't believe this has quite what you need, but I think it would be possible to make the graph you want from the graphs in this paper.

Revelle, R., and H. Suess, "Carbon dioxide exchange between atmosphere and ocean and the question of an increase of atmospheric CO2 during the past decades." Tellus 9, 18-27 (1957)
