Im new to Android so sorry for any wrong info..
Yes you can unlock the bootloader without rooting
Not sure about the second one
Yes you can unroot and lock your bootloader and also flash the stock rom if youve used a custom rom

1. Yes you can.
2. Well if you're planning to flash anything after unlocking, you'll have to flash a custom recovery before doing so.
3. Yes you can flash stock rom/kernel/recovery and then relock the bootloader if you need to send your phone back for warranty repairs.

1) yes
2) If you unlock the bootloader you do not HAVE to flash a custom recovery, it is just recommended that you do.
3) yes and no. google provided stock images that you can use to restore your phone. At the moment they aren't officially available, but with some searching you can easily find them. Any time you root a phone, you void the warranty, however, most phones don't provide a way to flag the manufacturers that you actually have rooted it.

Have you unlocked the bootloader? If so, how did you do it?
Don't we need TWRP before Xposed?

Even without twrp we can install xposed. But we need bootloader unlock in order to root.

Is it possible to unlock the bootloader on 6.0.1?

I was just wondering if it's possible to unlock the bootloader on 6.0.1.

If you already have root then yes go to kk-mm bootloader unlock for s5 Verizon thread by getex on XDA under s5 Verizon forum
To get root downgrade to lollipop currently no way to root mm then you can bootloader unlock and flash a custom recovery then you can flash a custom rooted kk-mm ROM using the custom recovery you installed.
If you cant bootloader unlock there are ROMs to use that work on a bootloader locked device

Your cid must start with 15

Currently there is no root available for 6.0.1. You can root lollipop. Bootloader unlock is available as long as your CID starts with 15.

No, you have to unlock the bootloader. I wouldn't touch kingroot for money.
