1 - if well made 2wd bicycles are awesome
2 - agreed at least with the brand bit. No idea what you mean by the last part.
3 - If you really want a folding bike try all the different models you can as some are much better than others (some break under heavy riders, some ride great but are very heavy, some fold really small but aren't useful for longer trips, etc)
