Usually you would install two fans, the one on the back of the case blowing
cool air in sucking air into the case, and the one at the front of the case
extracting the air, blowing out. If you only have one fan mount at the back
of the case blowing out, taking the hot air out of the system.

That depends, If you want to keep your hard drive cool in the front out the
back, otherwise to help cool the CPU in the back out the front.

NO! Front fans blow "cooler" air in and back fans blow hot air out!

Gee

If you mount a case fan on the back panel to blow in, it will suck warm air
from the power supply fan back into the system.. not a good idea at all..

Yves is right - It will draw in the heated air from the heated air leaving
the Power Supply.
