Hogwarts Castle appears as abandoned ruins to any Muggles close enough to see. Although wizarding society lives for the most part directly alongside Muggles, the interaction between the two communities is virtually non-existent since the International Statute of Wizarding Secrecy was introduced in 1692.
exceptions are clearly made for muggle parents of muggleborn and half-blood wizards—simply by virtue of the fact that as the parents, they have to be allowed to know about the wizard world. They are allowed into Diagon Alley, for example. Muggles were not allowed at Hogwarts, and with reason.
Throughout the books we're repeatedly told that Muggles cannot visit Hogwarts, in its place they'd see nothing but a derelict ruin with DANGER - DO NOT ENTER signs around it. Presumably its inhabitants would also be hidden from view.
If they fought in ground, muggles could see them but they were in the sky, moving, at night so nobody could see them. depends on how high up. The movie muggles would all have to have been obliviated. But muggles never saw anything more than the lights from the wands as the spells were cast.
Wizards and witches hid their world with Muggle-Repelling Charms, and if a Muggle witnessed a magical event or saw a magical creature such as a dragon, their memories were erased. Confundus Charms were also occasionally employed to encourage Muggles to ignore any magic they witnessed.
If, by unfortunate means, Muggles do happen to observe the working of magic, the Ministry of Magic sends Obliviators to cast Memory Charms upon them, causing them to forget the event. Some Muggles are aware of the wizarding world.
Those who could not prove that they had magical heritage — in other words, any Muggle-born and potentially some half-bloods — were sentenced to Azkaban for having "stolen" magic. Some, however, were apparently released after being stripped of their wands and their jobs, and ended up homeless.
Yes, but most wizards would be able to cast several protective spells that can deflect bullets as well as they deflect spells. A gun is basically a highly specialized wand that needs to be reloaded, and wizards who do study Muggles are aware of this. They'd have to cast the spell before they were being shot at though.
Using certain Charms, Azkaban was hidden from the Muggle world, and was Unplottable. As of Eldritch Diggory's visit in the 1730s or 1740s, a graveyard had been established on the island to accommodate those who had died in the prison. Most of the prisoners inside its walls died of despair, having lost the will to live.

Not all muggles have magical abilities. The ones who do, get the letter and go to wizardry schools. The others, well they don't. The remaining remain muggles and no, they can't learn magic.
A Muggle-born (No-Maj-born in the United States), once known as a Magbob and also known by the pejorative Mudblood, was a witch or wizard who was born to two non-magical parents. Their magical abilities did not seem to be at all affected by their Muggle parentage.
"Access to Azkaban is strictly prohibited to all people except high-ranked Ministry officials, and only they are granted permission to enter the prison and visit prisoners, although this is very rare."
Hermione Granger: "Well, both my parents are dentists." Professor Slughorn: "Fascinating, and is that considered a dangerous profession?" Granger and Mrs Granger were born to Muggle parents, at least one of whom may have been descended from a Squib.
Yes, although we haven't met any in the seven Harry Potter novels. The Pottermore introduction to Slytherin says: […] we have traditionally tended to take students who come from long lines of witches and wizards, but nowadays you'll find plenty of people in Slytherin house who have at least one Muggle parent.
Jacob wouldn't be able to perform magic being non-magical, but Fantastic Beasts and Pottermore have both detailed instances where Muggles interacted with wands and produced some magic.
This isn't canon, but in the discarded draft of the opening chapter for Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid visits the Muggle Prime Minister(who is called Fudge), in it he warns him what happens should Voldemort win, telling him that once he's in power nobody will be safe, even in other countries, though that he'll likely keep ...
Harry describes Umbridge to Sirius Black, saying that she's vile enough to be a Death Eater, despite not being one. Umbridge is also depicted to be a prejudiced person, despising half-breeds and Muggle-born witches and wizards to the point of firing Hagrid due to his half-giant birth status.
Despite Hogwarts being unplottable, it showed up on the Marauder's Map. This may suggest that while outside maps cannot record unplottable places, maps made to detail a place while at the place are still allowed.

Even Muggles feel their presence, though they can't see them. Get too near a Dementor and every good feeling, every happy memory will be sucked out of you. If it can, the Dementor will feed on you long enough to reduce you to something like itself...
