Can a Fitri apostate repent and turn to Allah and be forgiven by Him?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Allah forgives those who sincerely repent and return to Him. He knows the intention of every one.

Wassalam. 
What is the best form of Tawba?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

From Ameerul Momineen (AS):
Seeking forgiveness is the degree of highest level believers. It is a name that has six components :
First: Regret for the past.
Second: Determination to never do it again.
Third: to give back the creatures their rights so that you return to God Almighty with out carry that burden.
Fourth: To intend to perform every obligation that you have missed.
Fifth: to deliberate on the flesh that grew from Haraam to dissolve it with sadness until the skin is affixed to the bone and new flesh arises between them.
Sixth: Make your body taste the pain of obedience, as the sweetness of disobedience inflicted on it.

Wassalam.
If a Muslim repents for the wrong deeds he performed in the past, will he be questioned about them on the Day of Judgement?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

The narrated Hadeeth says: The person who sincerely repents his sins is like a person who has no sins.  التائب من الذنب كمن لا ذنب له

It depends on the degree of the sincerity in the repentance and the firm decision not to commit that sin again.

Some very sincere believers who committed sinful acts in their past, then repented and became very pious, not only get forgiveness, but their sins are transferred into good deeds, as we read in Quran (Exceot those who repent and believe and do good, those whose sinful deeds will be changed by Allah into good deeds, verily Allah forging and merciful) (Al-Forqan:70).

Narrated Hadeeth says: When a believer sincerely repents and become pious, Allah makes people and angels who witnessed his previous sins, gorges his sins.

If someone committed one of the major sins knowingly time after time but then stops it and repents sincerely and promises God not to do it again, will he be forgiven?
Abbas Di Palma

as salam alaikum

Indeed Allah is the Doer of whatever He wills (11:107). At the same time He has taken upon Himself mercy (6:12). If repentance is done sincerely and with remorse, and the promise to God not to sin again is accompanied with true resolution, Allah is the All-Forgiver.

However if some duty has been missed (like prayer or fasting) or if the rights of some people has been violated (like in the case of stealing or backbiting), the person should also make-up for those errors and/or adjust what has been violated.

With prayers for your success.
