** I think you mean headspace, and generally no, usually headspaces are shared between alters. Some alters, including the host, may not be able or allowed to access headspace due to being in the state of "not knowing" (since in disorders such as DID and OSDD-1, the host is generally the alter who isn't aware they're part of a system if/until things happen to where they learn that they are). However, I'm not sure that anything about systems really applies here, since this movie is about Riley's emotions and not her having DID/OSDD. It's a fun concept though.

** That's a complicated one, considering the many different ways that trauma affects the brain. To give a "standard" example of how a mind with PTSD might function, Fear would likely be at the control panel constantly, and Anger and Sadness might take over from time to time. Depression might set in, causing the control panel to stall or malfunction, so Joy wouldn't be able to affect the console much. It gets more complicated with memories-- in some cases, they might be core memories, or maybe Fear might insist on keeping those memories on hand at all times (he might even be able to "corrupt" all memories that relate to the trauma the way Sadness does) so that the person will consistently avoid anything relating to the trauma (avoidant behavior). If the memories are repressed, however, they might be thrown into the Subconscious. Lastly, physical reactions such as panic attacks would also be caused by Fear, but no one can make the attack stop until the person calms down naturally, is calmed by another person, or just passes out from hyperventilating. Of course, all these functions might vary depending on how the person themself handles the trauma, which I assume the Emotions only have so much control over.

** Almost certainly the same thing as happens with death; if there's no awareness or higher brain function, there's no use for a Mind Control center.

** It should be noted that Joy kind of ''did'' have a problem with Anger, Fear, and Disgust being part of the team. Joy made it very clear that she considered herself to be the leader. She minimized everyone's role as much as possible, ordered them what to do, and let them perform their basic role but not much else, all with the goal that Joy would be the primary emotion Riley experiences no matter what, because that was what Joy believed was best for Riley. Joy disliked Sadness the most because she didn't get Sadness's purpose, but if Riley ever happened to get a Fear or Disgust core memory, Joy probably wouldn't have been too happy with that either. In the end, Joy learnt that all the emotions were necessary, and viewed them as equals for the first time.

** The reason why Riley's emotions are different genders is because it's more generally appealing. The only other option would be to have all of Riley's emotions be female, and they were probably worried that would cause the film to be viewed as GirlShowGhetto. As for why other people's emotions are all the same gender as their host - if that wasn't the case, then the filmmakers would have either had to make Joy, Sadness, and Disgust AlwaysFemale and Fear and Anger always male (which would just raise a new question, of why those emotions are always the same gender) or individually decide which gender each person's emotion should be, which sounds like a tremendous waste of time for such a minor thing.

** I think emotions would be trying to work as normal, but most signals would stop coming through as they're supposed to. The wiring in the inner mind would probably go corrupted as well. From my experience with a person who had Alzheimer's, it doesn't exactly look like they completely forget things; they just kind of can't reach it for the absolute most of the time. I think the memory library wouldn't crumble but would become unaccessible (locked, or the shelves collapse, or the memories just stop glowing and are not readable anymore), and the pannel would be either partially jammed or sending the output signals in a somewhat corrupted form.

** The director outright says "Today's memories are in! We've got a lot to work with here!" when setting up the classroom nightmare. Since it's established early on that short-term memories are sent to long-term as the person goes to sleep, presumably Dream Productions sifts through the newly-arrived memories of that day for dream material.

** We only see Sadness on the console for a split second before the others push her aside, which was presumably not long enough for the console to imprint her on any memories; and when we see the console again she's the only one of the four that doesn't have a hand on it. It's an early sign that Sadness is overlooked by the whole team, not just Joy.

** FridgeBrilliance -- Riley's heard the word but doesn't really know what it means yet. In any case, twelve isn't an inconceivably late age for a child to only just be learning about puberty (on average most girls enter it around 10-11), so assuming she hasn't had The Talk yet, it's not inconceivable that she wouldn't have full knowledge of what it was yet. Perhaps a bit on the late side, but not unreasonably so.
