I don't think it can: you can use certain features on the Apple Watch without Bluetooth connecting it to your phone, but to receive texts and phone calls you must connect to Bluetooth

No I believe it doesn't because when ur phone is dead u can't accept calls but the clock still is available but u won't be receiving any calls or notifications. It works even if they're far apart but only at a certain range such as in the house. However if u left ur phone at home it will not receive any notifications.

Not the series 1. If I am not mistaken the new one thats coming out (series 3) will be able to run off of cellular data so it will not have to have the phone near it to work.

No, you have to be within a certain range of your iPhone. I can go anywhere in my house.

When I don't have the phone with me (at the gym) all I get is reminders and alerts
