Question

Answer 1

Windows that are on doors are most times called lites I think that is what you are looking for. You will probably save more time and money just replacing the door, Due to the fact the glass has to be insulated and fit tightly and if you order the glass and cut the door and it doesnt fit you own it and the cost of the new door

Answer 2

mail box slot / letter slot.

Answer 3

Security peep hole door viewer.

Answer 4

Usually its called a 'door insert'.  They can normally be found anywhere you buy doors... building supply, hardware stores, etc.

I know our local hardware store keeps a selection of them in stock, all made to a standard size, so you can 'customize' the entry door you purchase from them.  These are typically for a panel in the upper half of the entry door.

If you want actual 'stained glass', be prepared for sticker shock, hehehe.  Other options are 'beveled glass', or 'leaded glass'.

Here is a 'full size' type of insert listed on ebay... they also offer them in actual doors - http://cgi.ebay.com/EXTERIOR-DOOR-INSERT...
