Re: dipole moments
Yep. Nonpolar molecules could have dipole moments as well that happen to cancel each other out.

Re: dipole moments
Yes. If you draw a Lewis structure with a dipole it is polar. Sometimes, a molecule will have dipole movements but cancel each other out. In this case, the molecular is going to be non polar.

Re: dipole moments
Should we only know how to identify dipole-dipole, induced dipole, and h-bonding?
Re: dipole moments
Yes. Polar molecules have a permanent dipole moment. Nonpolar molecules can have dipole moments that cancel each other out.
Re: dipole moments
By definition Molecules that contain dipoles are called polar molecules, so yes the two can't be separated.
