You can find the inode of the file and the amount of blocks it occupies with say 'stat -c "%i %b" /sbin/init'.

What do you mean "access"? With ext2/ext3 you could use 'debugfs' to show detailed stats and do some ops or use 'fsgrab'.

Depends on stuff like file specs (think link vs 20GB database), filesystem (journalling), time (amount of reads and writes since deletion). If you search LQ you'll find a lot of "undelete" threads about file recovery. Most of them should mention header and footer-based file carving as in photorec and foremost and Live CD's like HELIX, FIRE or KNOPPIX-STD and where it's not mentioned explicitly YMMV(VM) applies anyway...
