    You can put your keywords on alt tag, but use it to describe the images.

    Its a good idea to add alt tags for your images. It should be relevant to image. Besides this, you can also add a title for links.

    No - The alt tag could be up to 255 chars - but remember that it is more for USABILITY than SEO. You can use a title tag in pictures too - and this is something that you can use as an alternative to the ALT tag (the irony is not lost I hope).

    Yes, if it is relevant to the image.
