Woah..a lot of questions!

Yes, you can keep your number plate if you sell your car. You need to make sure you put that in the form (ask the typist) about this before you fill it up.
I think you can keep the plates for 2-3 months within which you need to put them on another car.

For temporary usage, I think you can drive without any problems as long as you have insurance in that country. This is normally checked at the border.
How long? I don't think there is any limit or way for the authorities to set a limit.

If you have permanent residency then you need to get a local driving license and plate.

Exporting a car...I would suggest you search on the forum. This topic has been discussed many many times. Its not that complicated.
Come and discuss at the most lively forums about Cars, Bikes, 4x4s...at http://www.autodealer.ae at the Autodealer UAE Forums.
