Hello Samriddhi,
There will not be right or wrong answers for situation questions like this. The interview panel, in all probability, would like to know only your response but not that of others. Further, each one responds to such situations in his own manner, which is conditioned by his behavior, based on his knowledge and experience of such situations. Not only that, there may be further questions on your response, which you may find it difficult to answer if you project others' responses as your own. Secondly, the response will depend on the business context, goals, or culture, which you have not spelled out. Therefore, it is not appropriate to seek responses from others. However, some basic guidelines may be of help to you in framing your responses to such questions.
Query No. (1):
The idea must not be vague. It shall be clear, relevant to the context, practical, and attainable if it is a goal, method, or solution. Presentation requires clear articulation of the idea to the panel.
Query No. (2):
The context is not clear. However, recruitment also requires sales skills as a recruiter is required to sell the profile to prospective candidates (customers) and should be able to convert a contact into a transaction (acceptance of a job offer). A recruiter should have fair knowledge of the employment market, i.e., about sourcing candidates, competitors, salary packages, etc.
Query No. (3):
This can be best answered by you as it is purely an individual preference.
Query No. (4):
Poaching is making an employee leave a competitor's service with attractive offers of a package and career, etc., to join your organization.
Query No. (5):
Recruitment experts can answer this. Probably, the prioritization depends upon the value of the post to the client's business, the urgency of filling the post, and the level of seniority, etc.
Hope this helps.

How many years of experience do you have? What role have you applied for? The knowledgeable member above has clarified the points in a nice and clear manner.
Query 1: Ideas should be relevant and in the proper context. Whether they can be presented in a particular meeting needs to be seen in the right context of what type of meeting is being held and on what subject. Some ideas cannot be sprung on the boss suddenly in front of a mixed audience comprising people from different departments, etc.
Q2: A recruiter should be able to present his company in a good light and as a desirable place to work. To that extent, he should be able to sell the company and its bright prospects to potential employees.
Q3: You should think about why you are applying for a recruitment job. Some people apply for this job for the thrill of interacting with many outsiders and transforming the most suitable outsiders into insiders, i.e., company employees.
Q4: Already well answered above.
Q5: Clarified by the learned member above.

In any interview, such questions are asked to basically find out your thought process, beliefs, and convictions. One cannot answer the same way if asked about Newton's law of motion or Archimedes' principle. Here, the answers, options, and reasons may vary.
If you have prior work experience in the same field, you can think and answer accordingly.
