1. In one form or another since the early 1970s. In its current form since the early 1980s.
2. Six issues per year.
3. I couldn't count, but a bunch.
4. You can order back issues directly from CONECA. I don't know what the inventory is of the really old stuff, but according to my current copy you can easily get a complete set back through 1993, with scattered issues available back to 1983. PM me if you want the contact info of the person in charge of back issue sales.
By the way, CU Forum member 'errormaven' has been the leading researcher and author for Error Scope for the last three or four years. I think youwill be quite impressed with the body of research he's amassed in such a short time.

Incomplete planchets wanted, especially Lincoln Cents & type coins.

I would order back issues extending back through the beginning of 1999. The density of new information really increases at that point and hasn't slackened since. You'll find a tremendous amount of information that won't be found in any of the standard references.
As Sean mentioned, I do quite a bit of writing for Errorscope, and usually have one or two articles in every issue. The pace of discovery in this hobby is so relentless that I never run out of new ideas and data.
