is flipping a quarter really 50% - 50% chance?

How you flip it and if you catch it or let it drop.

The theoretical probability is 1/2, yes. But the experimental can be anything that it comes out to being.

in theory it is 50/50, but of course it will not come out that way all of the time. the height, how many rotations it takes and the gravitational pull are all factors. If you keep on doing it, it will land on the one you want at least one time.

yes

Well, there's always the chance it will land on its side, so I don't know.
