Concentration. Coconut cream is the thick press from grated coconut flesh, with the most coconut solids and fat; coconut milk is the same thing diluted, thinner and lighter. Cream gives a sauce body and sets a dessert, milk mostly adds volume. You can thin cream into milk with water — roughly one to one — but you cannot go the other way.

No, and it is not related in any useful sense. Coconut water is the thin clear liquid inside a young green coconut, with no fat and no body. Substituting it for cream produces a watery result.

Because that is what it does. The fat and the water in it are not permanently emulsified, so the thick part rises and firms, particularly when cold. It is not a sign of spoilage. Shake the carton hard or whisk it smooth before using.

It split, which happens when coconut cream is boiled hard. Keep it at a bare simmer — small bubbles at the edge of the pan — and add it towards the end of cooking rather than at the start. If it has only lightly split, taking the pan off the heat and whisking, with a spoonful of cold cream or a little cornflour slurry, will often bring it back.

Yes. Chill the carton overnight, spoon off the firm part and whip that. It behaves much like dairy cream, and it is the main reason to buy cream rather than milk if desserts are the plan.

Refrigerate it after opening and go by the storage direction on the carton rather than a general figure. It does freeze — an ice cube tray gives you recipe-sized portions — and thawed cream is fine cooked into a curry or soup, though it separates more noticeably, so it suits cooking better than anything where the texture is visible.

Coconut cream is pressed from coconut rather than made from milk — "cream" describes the texture, not the source. That is a compositional point, not an allergen statement: what any particular product contains depends on its formulation and how it was made, so if you are avoiding dairy for an allergy or an intolerance, read the label on the carton and check with the manufacturer if anything is unclear.

It depends on the country. In Australia and New Zealand coconut is not among the tree nuts that must be declared as allergens; some other countries, including the United States, do treat it as one. Imported products may therefore carry labelling written to a different convention, which is worth knowing if you are reading a label for allergen reasons rather than for interest.

About 2.5, taking the standard supermarket can as 400ml. Most recipes are written around one can, so that is the number to hold in your head.

At the current price of $8.00, that is $8.00 a litre, or about $3.20 for the equivalent of a 400ml can. Prices move, so check it against the product page.
