Gaius or Caius was a common Roman praenomen. It is abbreviated C.; the abbreviation goes back to before the Roman alphabet distinguished between C and G

No.

Refer to any list of Roman Emperors for the reference.

Maja is correct. As an added answer to complete it, Caligula was a type of "pet" name for him, it means "Little Boot", it's not an official name.

"A.D." in a date does not mean "after death". It is an abbreviation for the Latin phrase "Anno Domini", which means "in the year of our Lord." Also, for future reference, it should precede the date and not follow it.
