I hope someone else answers this.

Most people prefer the one they use.  No surprise.  Use google to find
previous threads on this topic.

No, Python code cannot currently be compiled to a native code .exe in
the way you probably mean.  Yes, Python bytecode (including included
modules) can be combined with a copy of the interpreter in a
distributable .exe,  Googling 'Python executable' perhaps with
'McMillan' (spelling?) should get you previous posts with links.

Yes.

Python?

Hmmm.
