1) Most often, in the U.S. at least, they are called "Life preservers". They have a lot of other names though including life-belt, life buoy, ring buoy etc. Life preserver is the casual use, life buoy is the most formal use.
2) They are called either "ninja star" "throwing stars" or "Shiruken" (In Japanese)
3) I don't want to spend time on it.
4) There IS a lot of fruit in the table.,
5) Both are technically correct but the English in the second sentence is considered a bit archaic (at least in the U.S. ) and people will laugh at you if you say it like that. The most accepted way of stating it is "I caught two fish today".
