The employer is the one who is in control. THEY are interviewing YOU. You can certainly ask questions and it might help you decide if you actually want to work for the company, but it's totally up to them to decide if they want you.
I'm a 40-year HR professional and college professor, so what I'm about to tell you has merit. If you ask me in an interview why you should work for me, I will answer you, but I won't be likely to hire you, unless your qualifications can overcome this question. My reason is that when an applicant prioritizes the WIIFM (what's in it for me) viewpoint, I wonder if they'll be satisfied with what the company has to offer for long, if I hire them. Remember, recruiters are looking for people who have already done their homework on the company and believe they can make a positive contribution, which is why they apply. If I have to sell them on the job, they aren't likely the right candidate.
If you're very experienced and specialized, probably. If you're just looking for a job that they'll have no trouble filling, would just be looked at as arrogant and they'd likely just move on to someone who appreciates getting a job.
Depends on the type of job you're applying for. You don't want to do that at fast food. You also need to be careful how you come across. Stating "Why should I work for you" can come across as arrogant and combative. Personally, if someone asked me that it would be a big red flag that they'd be difficult to work with.
Consider rephrasing and being more tactful. "What did you see in my resume that attracted you to it?" "How do you see my skills benefiting your company?" "What do you personally see as the strengths and weaknesses of the company?" Those questions get basically the same information without making you sound arrogant which nobody likes.
If you mean fair, yes it is. Employers want to know that you're there for more then just a pay check. They also want to learn about your career goals, and or how this position fits into your plan. Make sure that you are sincerely interested in the job and will be motivated to perform if hired.
What makes the company worth it, usually the perks and benefits that they offer to their employees.

You can ask whatever you want. Just know it's not about "fair". The employer has all the power, so it's never fair.

Fair, yes, but the employer has all of the power.
Of course.
A real job interview works both ways.
However, if you try that at your local KFC, they will tell you to go away/
You don't seem to grasp who offers the job.
You probably should try to graduate high school before pretending you are smarter than the rest of the world.
sorry your question doesn't make sense .... 'is if far' - what's that supposed to mean?
