Because some thirdie shitholes treat actual USD like savings bonds because their Monopoly money is garbage. You can get better deals/pricing by paying in USD. Argentina is a good example.
Depends on the country. 10k usd/euro is usually the most you can bring without declaring. But yes, you could bring more as long as you declare at customs (both in the airport at the country you're travelling to and to the customs of your own country). You'll need to prove that you legally obtained that much cash though.
Why would you bring more than like $200? Get a fucking bank account and deposit that shit. Or better yet, use a credit card and pay it off when you get back.
What kind of drugs are you going to buy?
I'm planning a year long trip
$10k USD is the limit. Heavy jail sentences for money smuggling if you go over.
Get a close friend to Western Union money over in batches.
There's no limit on how much you can bring, but you're required to declare amounts over the limit, which vary by country (both entering and exiting).
I'm not sure why you need to bring so much. You can use atms and credit cards abroad, just get an account that doesn't have foreign transaction fees.
