1. Maybe and maybe not. It depends on whether the seeds are wet for so long that they start to mold, in which case they won't grow. If they are in standing water for any length of time they just won't germinate.
2. Sometimes, depending on the seed. If it is cold AND wet, there is a good chance your seeds will rot before they germinate. If it is very very wet, it is best to wait until things dry out. Perhaps you could start some of the seeds in pots and transplant them when things are drier.
3. probably not. because thats just a lot of water that they are going to have to live in. but it MIGHT work(if you just don't water them). or why not dry to grow some of the stuff in your house? you know, put them by a window that gets plenty of sunlight(if you DO get a lot of sunlight around where you live). hey may you PLEASE answer this?! PLEEEEEASE! i'm begging you! : http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080519125154AA2c3Lm&pa=FYd1D2bwHTHzJbtkFuw8QJTIQWE9qQBFc3036rwcHpSLKw--&paid=asked&msgr_status=
4. Plants that normally grow in bog conditions will be fine - plenty of plants are grown in standing water, so the seeds are already moisture-hardy. The link below shows some bog and pond border plants - many of these are regular garden plants, but they also love wet feet! Arrowhead, some irises, callas and cardinal flowers, etc. I have Arum and Iris in about 6" of water at the edge of my pond and they are happy as children playing in a puddle.
