2.Original Invoice have all details provided under Rule 4
3.Query is not clear, please elaborate
4.Yes you can take the credit of such services.
5.To take credit you should be providing services. If at the time of taking credit you were not registered it is assumed that you were not paying service tax.
If you intend to pay your previous dues then you can take the credit, however this would be debatable and relief granted at Tribunal level
