Are the jobs generally permanent or contract? If they are contract, how long is the contract period?

Jobs are generally permanent but contract positions are not uncommon. The usual contract period is 1 year with either a 3 or 6 month probationary period.
Do foreigners typically drive around themselves OR do they usually hire a driver? If people drive themselves, is my driver's license issued from my home country sufficient?

Most people drive themselves around. You would have to transfer your current non-UAE driver’s license to a UAE driver's license. Some countries’ licenses are immediately transferable. However, be prepared that some nationalities may be required to pass a local driving test before receiving a UAE license. These are only issued once you have a residence visa, however temporary licenses are available and rental vehicles can be driven on international driving licenses.
What are the food (i.e. grocery) and clothing costs, compared to North America or Europe?

Living costs are generally lower than in North America. Clothing is similar to North America, with choices from various designers but this is part of the voyage of discovery in a new city! Dubai is known as a 'Shoppers Paradise'.
I want to visit home while I'm working in Dubai. Do employers pay for airfare to and from Dubai?

The usual employment package includes 30 days paid vacation, there usually is travel included to your place of citizenship which includes 1 annual return for you and could include air fare for your immediate family. The airfare may be offered once a year or once every other year.
