No, you can lose the fat, but muscle weighs more than fat. So by bulking you will be losing fatty weight and gaining weight from muscle mass. By the way, there is no percentage for determining facial fat, because everyone's bodies are different. Depending on your genes different parts of your body will have a higher fat content. It's kind of like how some people only gain weight in their legs while others gain more on their stomatch or something. If you want you want to lose weight and you don't want to get bigger than I suggest that you do running instead of weight lifting and take in a lower calorie intake. Also, you may want to go to the doctor and ask what is good for your body... Doing a bit more research is good too.
It depends on the person, like my friend has an above average % of body fat, but it's only on his belly/chest area and not on his face. I've lift weights for 3 years now and I have completely stopped taking artificial supplements like whey protein and especially weight gainer (STAY AWAY!). Just eat a good, high protein meal after a workout that's not too high in fat. But also remember some fat is essential to a human being.
this site has tons of great info for health / body building / dietary changes. and it's all free and easy (relatively simple, I should say).

If you're in bad shape, you can lose fat and add muscle. If you're in decent shape, its possible to bulk without adding fat, but it will be tougher and much, much slower. Its faster to bulk then cut, not to mention easier.
If you're determined to do it, check out something like lyle macdonald's ultimate diet 2.0. It involves basically bulk/cut within a single weekly cycle with workouts timed around it. Its unpleasant.
It is possible. You have to have the kind of diet that consist of healthy carbs and protein, and do some cardio. Your routine, weight, desired weight and diet or whatever sups your taking would help for a better answer?
Honestly I recommend putting on a little bit of fat when you first start weightlifting. It speeds up the process and once you are in full anabolic state it will add to muscle.
In my years off reading up on male health issues and exercise the one thing that gets repeated is that if you want to bulk up and lose weight the cardio you should do is interval training.

Yes, you eat a protein rich diet that is low in calories and fat.
It's possible but difficult.
you can but its harder and takes allot more time.
