Is there anything you can't do when lucid?
Probably. Our imaginations are limited.
For example, running super fast. Would your legs look like roadrunner's legs when he darts off, or would it just be normal leg movement but you would be moving uncommonly fast?
Any of those. Or just about anything else you can think of. Many people get limitations on moving very quickly because their brains have to generate the scenery they pass. Deliberately blurring it can help, or you can just get around it by teleporting.
What happens when you die in your dream while lucid?
Whatever you think will happen. Sometimes things fade and the dream ends; other times it continues with you as a ghost, or as if the death didn't happen.
Can you turn yourself something with a non-humanoid form, i.e., a piano?
Yes.
Can you speed up/slow down dream time?
Yes, within the limits of your own ability to think quickly enough.
Can you get sleepy/tired?
Yes. This is very common and usually happens when you are not very deeply asleep and sensations from your body are filtering through to your mind.
Can you create a sense (in addition to taste, touch, smell, hearing, and sight)?
Many people have a mental sense of their surroundings, telepathy with dream characters, and a vague sense of time that tells them when their dream is about to end.
Could you clone yourself, and BE each one, having different thoughts, perceiving different senses, and doing different things?
Limited by your ability to think of all those things at once, yes.
Could you study for exams even though you haven't memorized the textbooks or your old tests?
You could try, but the only things you can take to your dream world are the things already in your mind. However, dreaming in general--REM sleep, both lucid and not--has the benefit of increasing recall of things you memorized earlier.
Most importantly, if you had an experiment (while still awake) to hook 2 people up to electrodes or whatever and transmit their thoughts and brainwaves to each other, and if they both became lucid, could they meet each other ? If so/not so, would they have actually SEEN what the other person did in that OTHER PERSON'S dream? (like in a first-person shooter game in 2-player mode, when you see what each other does from your own perspective)
Probably not. People's brainwaves are too individual to be easily read by anyone else.
