Answer 4

you can add a few chillies to any food that you want to spice up a bit.

It doesn't have to be thai.  Use it in stews, soups, or gravy. On pizza or in Chinese.

Yes, you can freeze the leaves and take out a piece or two at a time.

They'll last about a year.

Answer 5

eat them

Answer 6

You could use some of them to make green chicken curry.

Or go through some of the recipes on here that use both ingredients.

Answer 7

those sound so good.  You might be able to freeze them for next time you make the past.   Also, the kaffir lime leaves are used to make Thai green curry paste.  They're an important part of that dish.  You can freeze those too.  Moisture is what will deteriorate those ingredients.
