Yes.

Yes.

Not necessarily.  From the fflush man page:

"Note that fflush() only flushes the user space buffers provided by
the C library.  To ensure that the data is physically stored on disk
the kernel buffers must be flushed too, e.g. with sync(2) or
fsync(2)."

Not necessarily.  See the man page in the NOTES section.  It says the
same as fflush.
