1. well....sure. They'll be larger of course. Here are some pictures of adult maltese dogs: http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&safe=off&tbo=1&gbv=2&tbs=isch%3A1&sa=1&q=adult+maltese+dogs&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq= I suggest you do a bit more research on the breed beforehand though.
2. I have a maltese mix (shih tzu and maltese) and at 2 he still looks and acts like a puppy. warning they (or at least mine any how) can be grumpy if he is tired or if he thinks you might not be careful. he likes to remind you that he is only a little guy and he does run the show here at home.
3. I had one they are super sweet and lovable but thats not what your asking so yes they will look the same they will just get bigger but not much they are smaaall dogs heres a pic http://www.lakeside-pets.com/sitebuilderImages/max%20-%20lhatese.jpg
4. Well obviously an adult Maltese will look much different than a puppy if they have a full grown coat. Their coat will grow down to the floor if properly maintained. An adult Maltese in a"puppy cut" still looks different than a puppy. Their hair is a little straighter and silkier. It will not be "poofy" like a Maltese puppy but will look similar.
