My goodness.  What a pile of questions!  It seems like you are asking
if particle physics exists as a theoretical science, to go along with 
the piles of data we have acquired over the years.  The answer, of course,
is yes.  Rather than try to answer each of your questions point by point,
I will recommend that you pick up any of the common undergraduate introductions 
to particle physics and do a little casual study.  One good book is 
Perkins.  I never can remember titles, only authors.  I think that it's
_Introduction to High Energy Physics_.  Good luck.
