@ op, that's known as a gerundive noun.

In Generative Gramar, a verb is progressive, definitely, a noun is derivable.

9. Why is a “slim” chance and a “fat” chance the same thing?

Because they're both chances. The difference is in the magnitude

In summary english is arbitrary and conventional.

I know right? It's either pig meat or beef? Why would an American (or myself for that matter) eat a dog, that's like cannibalism (eating your friend) *runs and hide*.

1.Why do we call a building a building, if it’s already built?

Because the word 'building' can be either a noun (naming word) or a verb (doing word).
When the term 'building' is used in the context, 'she is building it', then the word is a verb. An action is happening.
When it is used in the context, 'look at that building', the word is a (common) noun. It's the name of something.
This means that the meaning of the word 'building' is context dependent, therefore there isn't a relation between the noun and verb form.
Hence, the fact a building has already been built has absolutely nothing to do with its name.

Why does VALUABLE and INVALUABLE have d same meaning?

They are not the same thing.

Something that is said to be valuable as a fixed value attached to it.
Something that is said to be invaluable is valuable beyond estimation
