1.Annotations Plugin
...do i still have to change my Kindle UI from German to English so that i can use the plugin? Why? I mean it just uses the "My Clippings.txt" File from my Kindle. So why do i have to change the Speech of my Kindle?

It is explained in the first post:

The Kindle UI must be set to English for the plugin to be able to retrieve locations and timestamps from your 'My Clippings.txt' file.

Basically, the plugin is looking for strings and is looking for the English version of them. But, that might not be correct. The Kindle code was written by someone else and I haven't looked at it much. But, there appears to be support for other languages. It has English, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese and Chinese.

2.How can i import an additional "old" "My Clippings.txt"
...first i used my Kindle Paperwhite with German UI. And i read a book and i made some Comments. Before i changed the speech of my kindle to english and before i installed "Annotations" i safed this old "My Clippings.txt" to my PC. Then i changed the UI etc.!!! Now i testet your plugin and it worked fine. But how can i import also the old "My Clippings.txt" (its from another book i read earlier) additionaly into calibre?

My first reaction is "Haven't a clue". As I said above, I didn't write that part of the plugin and I don't have a Kindle. But the "My Clippings.txt" is a text file. You can probably merge them into one. Each clipping should have some labels attached to it. These are what the plugin is looking for. You would need to change the labels to use only the one language.

3.Where are this informations stored?
...is it possible that the comments or "highlight's" are safed to each book sepparately? Or are they also "after the Annotations" Import functions still stored just in the "My Clippings.txt"???

4.Now i see my "highlight's" just under "Book Details"
...after i "Fetch annotations from Amazon Kindle" i can read this highlights only when i open the window "Book Details" (i am not sure if this is the correct point in english because i use a german calibre version).
But why cant i see my highlight's also if i "Open the Book" (i mean in the read mode)???

The annotations are stored per book, but the column used can be set. But default they are appended to whatever is in the "comments" column. Look at the first post and the help for details.

5.Highlights in "Book Details" without page nr.
...unfortunately i cant see the page number (the original book page nr.) of my hightlights. I think it is importand on which page of the book i made a highlight. And in My Clippings i can see this information of the original page nr.! So why cant you use this information in your Plugin and Calibre?

Sorry, I don't really know why the page number wasn't extracted. Part of it is probably that the other devices and apps don't have the page numbers.

6.Another Question is about "Add Note's"
...for my notes i can just see the number e.g. 141 (its not the page etc.) and the date and time, but not the text passage i wrote this note to! Is it possible to also see the marked text passage where i made my note on?

If you selected text when you made the annotation, that should be displayed. If the annotation was added to a page, then only some location information will be displayed.

7.Is it possible to synchronize Notes and / or Highlights?
...can i read today on my kindle, make highlights! Then tommorrow after i connected my kindle to calibre and after i imported my highlights with annotations, i read the next passage in the calibre reader (and how can i also use a textmarker function there). And on the third day i want to read in a android mobile ereader app and also there i want to make highlight's. Is this or a part of it possible. For me it would be great.

The list of applications and devices supported by the plugin is in the first post. If you fetch the annotations from one of these, they are merged with the existing annotations in the calibre library. The calibre viewer is not supported. It could be, but no-one has written the code to do this.
