for games you want to lean C++, this allows you to use engines like unreal, it also good for getting alot of control over memory and the speed of the app, and yes it can be used for mobile using JNI and other libraries (I think visual studio have a plugin for making a mobile project (both iPhone and Android)). you can use Java as there are libraries like libGDX for making Java games for both Mobile and Desktop

Java is good with learning how to make apps for Android. In order to code in Android you need to know Java and XML. Easier to find more info online as I don't have much more to offer, but yeah.

yes, of course! java is used approximately at every place. and you may know the android apps are created using java and XML. so this is good thing to learn java for making mobile apps..

Check libGDX. AndEngine is another option too. There are many games in Play Store and App Store that use libGDX.

Java has never been robust in graphics, from a performance perspective, a Java game will be robust but at the expense of aesthetics.
