1. We had a situation where 2 Cathedrals were already placed on board next to each other. One of the Cathedrals had an empty slot adjacent to it that would only fit a special Abbey tile from Abbey and Mayor expansion. The question was - does the Abbey count as a Cathedral and therefore it is not allowed for it to touch 2 or more other Cathedrals? Or it might be universally placed anywhere, even next to two adjacent Cathedrals?
2. Who gets the Robber tile - the one who built the longest road, or the one who built the road that scored the most points (with inns)?
3. There are tiles with bazaars on the road - does it mean that the road is split?
4. How do you resolve the Castle King tile own-age - who gets it in a weird situation, when 2 or more players get same amount of points for the same huge caste (for ex. multiple meeples from other players jump to finished castle from the 'central Carcassonne', there is an adjacent castle with a fief, who also gets same amount of points, etc).

The abbey is not a cathedral, it's a cloister. As long as the four surrounding orthogonal tiles are in place (creating a hole), you can place the abbey. So in this case, yes, you can place it.
2. Who gets the Robber tile - the one who built the longest road, or the one who built the road that scored the most points (with inns)?
The player who completes (not necessarily scores) the longest road in number of tiles.
3. There are tiles with bazaars on the road - does it mean that the road is split?
Yes.
4. How do you resolve the Castle King tile own-age - who gets it in a weird situation, when 2 or more players get same amount of points for the same huge caste (for ex. multiple meeples from other players jump to finished castle from the 'central Carcassonne', there is an adjacent castle with a fief, who also gets same amount of points, etc).
As above with the Robber baron, it's the player who completes the city (i.e. places the last tile), not necessarily the player(s) who score points from it.

Hmm, how about we have two adjacent cloisters and and empty space next to one of them? Can we put an Abbey into it?

Can you elaborate a bit more on this?

You can only put an abbey in it when there are tiles on 4 sides of the abbey. Most of the answers to your questions can be found on this thread: http://www.carcassonnecentral.com/community/index.php?topic=60.0
It reads like al long book but it's quite intriguing and it shows which expansions you still might hunt down...

The king and robber baron tiles go to the player who places the tile that completes the largest city and longest road, respectively. This player may or may not score from the completion of the feature. So if you're playing a two-player game and your opponent has built an unfinished, six-tile road that is the longest currently in the game, you could be the player who places the final tile to complete the road for your opponent. This would give your opponent the seven points for the road, but it gives you the robber baron tile.

If I'm not mistaken, the only time you can't place an abbey into a 'hole' is when it would touch two or more shrines (orthogonally and/or diagonally).

Sounds about right. On page 84 of CAR 7.4, footnote 258 mentioned this:
258 The rules that restrict the placement of cloisters next to already placed shrines also restrict the placement of abbeys.
