I'll address them:
- You can have a receptacle right next to a door frame if you like.
- A receptacle is required so that no place on a wall is 6' from a receptacle. This means a maximum of 12' apart.
- Hallways 10' or longer require a receptacle. Shorter it is certainly recommended.
- Kitchens can have them right next to a sink. NO separation is necessary. In fact, a receptacles is REQUIRED within 2' of a kitchen sink.
- Bathrooms pretty much the same thing. Just no receptacles or switches within a tub or shower enclosure.
- There is absolutely NO strong preference to avoiding stud bays with plumbing. It can get cramped or busy, but just becasue there is plumbing is NO reason to avoid the bay.
- Again, I'm not sure what "doorway rule" you are referring to.
I can provide code references for anything that applies if you need.
