    Yes, all search engines index them. Proof? Umm, how about DP's threads.

    Yep. In any case, if you're using a CMS, there will most likely be an option in its admin panel that'll do that automatically for you. Other than that, you can use .htaccess (I think) to do it.

    Google will, theoretically, index all pages, except for pages with id=
    This it states in the webmaster guidelines. Why? Because it doesn't feel like it.
    Lazy google.
