1-3 Whether it's rude to say silly things in a certain situation depends on factors other than the silliness of the statement. It's not rude to tell a silly joke. But it is rude to belittle people by saying silly things.
If you mean, "Is the word 'silly' rude?", then no it's not. If you referring to a word, please quote it. Making it bold doesn't mean the same thing.
4. Is silly having meanings in different situation, like teasing someone jokingly, purposely insulting others....?
Does "silly" have different meanings in different situations ...?
Yes, 'silly' is a very broad word, which has a lot of meanings. Basically it means "not serious". It can also mean "stupid" ... well you can read a dictionary.
