Answer 4

Pickled ginger. It's supposed to clean your palate.

Answer 5

That is ginger root.  It clears the palette.

Answer 6

The "pink stuff" is ginger slices. Sushi restaurants serve it so that your mouth can be cleansed of any flavors before tasting a dish. For example, let's say you ordered two different rolls. You are supposed to eat the ginger between eating the two different rolls so the taste doesn't get mixed up.
