(1) Yes.
(2) Probably not. See what you can get from a bike shop. It will be good to have a mechanic look it over and make sure it is right first. You can get inexpensive wheels from lots of different sources; there are mail order bike stores that also have inexpensive wheels. Cheap wheels are a pain to buy mail order because of shipping. Plus what do you do if the wheel is bad? Talk to your bike shop and check out craigslist as well.
(3) If it's not steel, don't spread it.
