Prelube. Not sure how to test it without having it bolted on and starting the engine. From reading your other thread, sounds like your doing a teardown? If that is the case, might as well just get a new one and not worry about it.

There's no way to measure volume short of a major ordeal...
Just check to see that the spines on the pump itself and drive are not worn.
They're cheap.. Honestly, I replace them when rebuilding, but for minor stuff - like heads/front covers, I wouldn't worry about them unless you're having oil pressure issues.
Prelube as mentioned above. On rebuilt motors, I've seen the pumps not prime without being pre-lubed.
Best way to check it is to pull the plugs and turn it over until you register (or see) oil pressure.
