You can configure Tor to with any browser. However, by doing this you 
are compromising anonymity.

Yes. The best solution is to download Torbrowser from the Torproject 
website, or Tails at https://tails.boum.org. Not only do either of these 
solutions work out of the box (in most cases), they also preserve anonymity.

Not unless you configure them to use Tor.
