1) Yes.

2) 167

3) Usually one week. New subbed episodes are usually released sometime on Friday.

4) Starting from this week, a new filler arc starts to let the manga get ahead of the anime. It will apparently last quite a while. We'll see what happens from there, but it will probably continue normally.

5) Opinions vary, nothing official has been revealed yet. As it seems, we do still have quite a while to go, if Kubo decides to continue with more arcs after Aizen is defeated. The flashback chapters will last at least a month longer. After that, we'll see how it goes.

6) The current flashback chapters show Byakuya as a child, about 16 years old maybe? And these take place over 100 years before the main storyline begins, so Byakuya is about 120 years old, probably. Renji and Rukia are of the same age. Rukia claims in the first chapter to have lived about 10 times as long as Ichigo, who is 15 years old when the series start, which would make her 150 years old, which is impossible because she's younger than Byakuya, so we can only assume she was 'bragging'. She's about 60-70 years old, if you ask me.

Hope this helps.
