Answer 1

You can get cumulus clouds to form.  They don't usually produce stratocumulus as stated above.  Stratocumulus clouds form when cool moist air meets warm dry air, usually form after a rainstorm occurs.  Anyways cumulus clouds are the most likely to form.  Cumulus are known as fair weather clouds but if there is enough moisture in place at the surface and lower levels of the atmosphere and a lifting mechanism (cold front, warm front, orographic lift, sea breeze, outflow from other convection) they can grow into cumulonimbus and become thunderstorms.

Answer 2

cumulus and  stratocumulus

The strato type are bigger.

Answer 3

rain clouds..dark cold front

Answer 4

It depends on the amount of instability in the rising air, as well as factors above.  If the air rises rather slowly with little instability present, stratiform clouds (stratus, stratocumulus) are usually the result.  If the air becomes more unstable, the cumuloform clouds  (cumulus, cumulonimbus) can result.
