1) The Bible just says 'magi', it doesn't say how many.
2) Westwards, presumably.
3) <shrugs>
4) I don't know how this one ended up as 'apple' - one possibility (in English at least) is that it's an archaism from when 'apple' was the general word for fruit. Another is that it's a Latin pun ('apple' and 'bad' are both written 'malus' in Latin). I'm just guessing here.
