1. does the militia being for the 'defense of the state'

mean for the defense of the individual states, Virginia, New York, etc., OR for defense of "THE STATE as in the United States? I've always wondered which it is.

5. At the time the 2A was written, they intended it for the 13 individual states.

There was no national army as such, just state militias.

6. I knew there was no 'standing army' at the time, but I thought it was then

also meant to be a resource if/when the country was in need of defense against an outside enemy.

Many companies make guns similar to but not exactly the same as the AR-15.
