As a vegetarian, can you consume animal products?

No, but you can consume secretions of animals such as milk and eggs.

Sort of defeats the purpose, right? Pescatarians are follow a vegetarian diet except with seafood and pollotarians allow for fish and chicken.

Vegetarians divided themselves into categories. Some of them are Pescatarians, and they eat fish in addition to normal vegetarian foods, but they are not true Vegetarians.

Chicken stock is not a vegetarian food. A chicken has to die to make it. Some vegetarians eat eggs, but they call themselves Lacto-Ovo Vegetarians, which means they also drink milk.

Your basic rule, if you want to be a true vegetarian, is that if an animal had to die to make it, then you don't eat it.

I know vegetarians who consume dairy, because it’s not necessary to kill the animal. I’m not sure about the other items.

Nope

Depends how strict you want to be at it
I see vegans and vegetarians cheat fairly often

You can eat what ever you want. Leave the label to processed foods.

No, you switch to flaxseed oil and vegetable broth.

How bout wearing leather jacket?

Nooooooo.
