Yes. However they must obtain a warrant. To do this they must demonstrate "just cause" to a magestrate before that judge will sign a warrant for a phone tap. And for you not to know about it is actually the essential point of the activity. Authorities listen in to your private conversations without your knowledge to see if they can catch you talking about criminal activity.

Yes they can. All cell phone providers ensure that all Base Stations are 'enabled' to allow the Police/Inst Security Depts to listen in, and that too without any appreciable drop in quality of the phone call. Various countries have restrictions on listening with and without 'judicial' approval, but to answer your question--- YES.

The police and other law enforcement agencies can and do track or triangulate cell phone calls. There are some that try to get around this by buying prepaid disposable phones which make it very hard for the police to track. But triangulation of cell phone calls can be tracked to neighboring cell towers.
