1. He is imaginary, so as many as you like. Canonically there is only one Cthulhu, but anyone familiar with fandom should know this means nothing.
2. They are nummy. Also they keep waking him up and annoying him, kind of like ants crawling all over you in bed. If people would just leave him alone, we'd be fine.
3. This question requires a definition of "nice"; however, see also answer to #1. Keiki can always headcanon one who might be nice if people didn't wake him up like ants crawling all over people in bed.
4. Doylistically, because Lovecraft had a limited imagination and could not grasp the idea of entities that did not seek power and status in ways similar to naked plains apes. Watsonianly, the Great Old Ones are literally beyond human ken so it's entirely possible he doesn't, or that we are misinterpreting some other Need as being "ruling the universe".
5. Doylistically, the class cepholopoda apparently creeped Lovecraft the goddamnhell out of his little tiny mind. Watsonianly he was probably spawned out of the great chaos.
6. Yes.
7. Because he is only sleeping in the ocean. It is his bed. When he wakes up he will fly.
