You forgot the word "homework" in there somewhere.

TCP doesn't do fragmentation, it does _segmentation_.

If you send via UDP, you can get IP fragmentation. If you send via
TCP, you should never get IP fragmentation, but TCP always segments.

It depends on the MSS. Assuming an MSS of 1460 and that 10MB ==
10*2^20 (no way to tell what units you were using), you might see 7182
full segments and one segment with 40 bytes of payload.

As above. I don't think that's a separate question.

Sending fractions of a bit is a *very* advanced concept.
