1. ifyou really work hard at it. I 'm been working on one by myself for a while. A team can be helpful at times though

2. Torque Game Builder is best for 2D (someone correct me if i'm wrong.)

3. You got to learn the code, learn graphics, and so on. Depends how much you know or can learn.

4. Alot

You only really need c++ if you plan to make some big changes and /or want to add resources to the engine.

@ Jermaine- your right builder is best for 2D.
@Daniel-
1.Yes
2.yes
3.Anywhere from a day to 12 years. Depends on your speed in making it
4.Model making, Character entity making, programming, model placement, world editing, Light edititng, Programming, animation, Programming, how to be artistic, Ability to see in 3d (in mind), and most importantly PROGRAMMING!!!!!

Might want to get a team together if your new.
