1: A 9' paper roll
2: nope: bought the roll from a camera store. THe mounting system is DIY though.
3: White. Its easiest and most versatile when you can only have one colour
4: I dont quite understand what this question is asking, but the backdrop I have is in my (unfinished) basement: I dont usually have clients for that kind of thing, so it gets used for personal projects
5: Again, not sure what the question is asking, but I use it mainly for fashion-style shoots.

3. See #1

I think I understand what you are asking...maybe...

I have a really nice fleece piece that I use for portraits only, but wouldn't be able to use it for anything where I would want to cut the subject away.

For neutral backdrops where I want to remove the subject I use a home-made green screen which is a piece of muslin fabric about 10' long by 5' wide.

9' white paper roll, 9' black paper roll, and black felt.

The paper was bought at a camera shop. With the white, I just point some extra flashes on it to overexpose it. With the black paper, I put one light on the subject and fire one gelled flash at the backdrop for separation and a little color (see below). For black, I just point the flash at the subject and put it fairly close for fast light fall-off. The black felt is actually a shower curtain I bought at Wal-Mart. Background holder is a basic photography backdrop holder.

I use my backdrop mainly for people and occassionally products.
