I'm creating my developer account and I have to choose developer name now. I wonder if I can use any name that is availeable or should I use my own name and surname. The problem is that I dont have company with that name. Can google ban my account because I have same name as some other company(even if they created their developer account after me)?
Google is pretty liberal about choosing developer names (unlike iOS App Store) and so you can choose any name you want. I'd recommend you to buy a domain name linked to that name (won't cost much). The only case I can think of is where a registered company (and a popular one) asks Google to take down your name, but I think it's a long shot in any case.

I have a free app in Google store with ads.
I have received requests from users for a paid, ad-free version.
When I first uploaded the app to Google Play Store, it stated that if the app was free now it could never be changed.
My question is: Is it possible to have a paid and unpaid version of the same app on Google Play Store?
Change the package name and name of your app in AndroidManifest. Then it will be treated as another app.
You can offer some in-app purchases, like activation key to unlock additional features or access additional content. You do not need to replace all classes to have two versions, it may be enough to flip some boolean inside depending on how do you currently want it to be.

I would like to distribute an app already installed on a tablet. This is a single-purpose app. To get access to Google Play each tablet needs a Gmail account.
Is it a problem to always use the same gmail account?
How can I make a lot of gmail accounts?
You can use the same account on every device. I work for a company that makes apps and we have a test department with dozens of devices all logged in with the same gmail account.

I know you can tell on the apple developer console and on the google play developer console how many people have downloaded your app, but is there any way to tell how many people currently have it installed on their phone? I looked at the documentation for apples push notifications but there is no response that tells you that it was uninstalled.
For iOS applications there isn't any way to find out. If you use something like flurry you can tell how many active users you have within suitable definitions of "active" But even then you can't distinguish between "inactive" and "deleted" It's not really clear that there's any practical difference in the two anyway.

II've started to develop games for the giggle play store, and I'm a bit confused in the developer console. It requires you tocreate 5 achievements. Why is it that Google requires this? I can understand there use as maybe a way to track progress, but what if I don't want them in my application. I don't want to troll people if they check up on achievements and see that they never get one nor ever will. I just want to be able to not have them. Maybe just award all 5 when the first log in to Google? I don't want to have to deal with them. Is there a specific reason Google requires these?
Ok so I've found what I believe to be the answer. It says in that same line If you are between 13-17 it is for the SOLE purpose of google play purchasing. So google wallet cannot be used for earning money if you are below the age of 18. So if you want to make any money off of ads or purchasing of any sort you must either be above 18 or put the app up through somebody who is at least 18 or above.
