This is question 7.4.6 from Dummit and Foote. Just need someone to verify my answer.
$$R[x]/(x) stackrel{pi}leftrightsquigarrow R$$
$$a_0 + (a_1 + dots a_nx^{n-1})x = a_0 + (x) stackrel{pi}leftrightsquigarrow a_0$$
This is clearly an isomorphism with kernel $ker pi = (x) = bar{0} in R[x]/(x)$. This will answer both question since if $(x)$ is maximal, it is prime. Then $R[x]/(x)$ is a field and hence $R$. Similarly $R[x]/(x)$ would be an integral domain, and so is $R$.

Well, I'd consider the substitution homomorphism $phi:R[x]rightarrow R$ defined by $phi:f(x)mapsto f(0)$. The kernel is the ideal $I=langle xrangle$ and so by the homomorphism theorem, $R[x]/ker(phi) = R[x]/langle xrangle$ is isomorphic to $phi(R[x])$ which is $R$, since $phi$ is surjective. The isomorphism is defined by $f(x)+langle xrangle mapsto f(0)$.
$endgroup$
$begingroup$
@Hawk If $a_0+(x)=a_1+(x)$, then $a_0,a_1$ differ by a polynomial divisible by $x$. Since $a_0,a_1$ have degree $0$, this polynomial can only be zero, so indeed $a_0=a_1$.
