Answer

Sure! We use this among our close friends or in casual situations.

Answer

Yes, but it is mostly used casually. It would be odd to finish an official contract negotiation with "deal".

Answer

There's even an older American TV game show called "Deal or No Deal?"

Answer

Yes, this is used all the time and sometimes goes along with a handshake. Also used is "It's a done deal!" to mean the same thing. Or, "You've got yourself a deal!"

Answer

Yes, this is correct.

e.g.
'If you trade in your old car, I will sell you the new car for $10,000.'
'Okay, you've got a deal.'
