Answer 6

It's difficult to find a meaningful study abroad program as most are simply small trips which last a few weeks.  

Wait until you are in college.  Almost every college offers their students the ability to study abroad and Russia is an option at most.  Study Abroad options at my university ranged from 6 weeks (summer) to a full year with the average being one semester.  Study abroad is also increasingly common now.

You can certainly study abroad, but you'll want to find a good program.  As someone else said, it might be easier to wait for college, but you can do summer programs next year if you don't want to wait.  I am currently in Russia, and just finished studying on the GRINT Russian program- they had a five week program in St. Petersburg, and options for a five or ten week program summer program here in Moscow.  There's plenty of options during the year, but those would be more available to college students.  Moscow living is pricey, so if you don't have relatives here, you'll want to find a program which includes living expenses- I'm living with relatives, which cut down on the cost of the program, but GRINT had both homestay and dorm options, which I think cost the same.  Homestay would be good to practice your Russian.  As for working, some programs prohibit it to a certain extent- if you get a "studenchesky billet" - (student ticket/card), they usually don't want you to be making money on the side.  Still, you can get around it to some extent, just look into the particular job you want.  Since you already know Russian so well, you could try just to come and get a job for a summer, since Russian programs will cost a lot- but you need to have some living option.
