1) You had to have turned it off at some time. The default for all members when registering is to show images (and signatures). That has been the default from day 1 of this forum.

2) See this thread which is a "sticky" thread at the top of this same forum. Post #4 is especially helpful.

3) Again, see post #4 in that same thread.

4) The closest the software comes to that is to subscribe to a thread when you start it or post in it. Most of the newer board systems do have the feature you are talking about.

5) In my opinion, the "Like" feature is of dubious value, but even it wasn't, it isn't available in the vBulletin board system. The closest thing to "Like" that the vBulletin system has is the "User Reputation" system. We have that turned off as it can be abused at times. It's more of a "Like or Don't Like a Member" system.
