Your Answer for Question 1:
For N inputs there are 2^N outputs.  The maximum number of terms in the canonical (simplest) form should be less than this.  Therefore, the maximum number of terms will be the number of entries in the table for which the output is logical 1.

Your Answer for Question 2:
A bus is a collection of data lines that is treated together as a single logical signal.

Your Answer for Question 3:
y = a + a(b + not(b)) because a.a will always be a
(i.e. 0 if a is 0, 1 if a is 1)
y = a + a(1)
y = a + a

therefore, since a + a will be a, (0+0=0, 1+1 = 1)
      y = a
