It requires whatever the character requires to normally see, based on other advantages, disadvatages. I consider DV different from the other spectrum vision types (IR/UV/Gamma/Radio/etc) since it just removes darkness penalties. The other visions I allow as mitigators to blindness (Not RAW) since alone they are usually worse than having no chromatic vision, but Darkvision converts darkness to monochrome "light" or full chromatic "light", so if you can't see in the visible light spectrum, then darkvision can't work either.

2. Is it blocked by a blindfold?
|
Yes, as much as regular vision. A lacey garter belt used as a blindfold in a dark alley would give some slight penalties, but a solid yellow blindfold would allow no vision. Interestingly, the character can see the blindfold (even if they can't focus that close), so they can see that it's yellow. You're dealing with luminosity versus opacity. A good example for a normal person would be to be blindfolded with a couple smart phones... you can see light, but only from the thing right in fromt of your eyes.

3. Do other vision impediments affect it?
|
Nearsightedness? Yup. Blindness? Yup. Fog? Yup. Bright lights contrasted against a figure in the foreground like Gandalf rescuing Rohan? Hmm. That's a good ponder point.

4. If you have extra eyes (360° vision etc do you then see out of the extra eyes)
|
Yup. Unless the 360 vision or Darkvision have limitations preventing it.
