Not always the case. See neutrinos for instance.
Yes.
Of course it is, charge carriers are discreet.
Energy isn't always quantized, it comes from the boundary conditions. Free particles, for instance, don't have quantized energies but a continuous spectrum.

but quanta of energy is not quanta of charge

Of course not, they have different units, for one.

then energy must contain charge.

This doesn't seem to follow.

Therefore I concluded that mass was a flawed definition. Mass by definition defined itself according to Volume.

That isn't true. In classical theory, for instance, elementary particles must be considered as having a pointlike nature (no volume). This is because you can't have an infinitely rigid body in relativity unless it only occupies a point. By deffinition, an elementary particle must be perfectly rigid, so therefore, must be pointlike.
This doesn't have the proper units. Energy is not dimensionless.
