Answer 1

You can filter your dataframe via boolean indexing like so:

df.loc[df['timeStamp'].dt.year == 2014]
df.loc[df['timeStamp'].dt.month == 5]
df.loc[df['timeStamp'].dt.second == 4]
df.loc[df['timeStamp'] == '2014-01-02']
df.loc[pd.to_datetime(df['timeStamp'].dt.date) == '2014-01-02']

... and so on and so forth.
