No, they do not. The highest paid is the concertmaster, which is the 1st chair violin. Other 1st chair players make more than lower players, and some instruments are paid more than others. Wind players are more valuable, because the sections are smaller and everything is one player to a part.

Not at all. Certain players make far more than others. The highest-paying position is that of concertmaster, which is the 1st-chair violin.

What instrument is used to tune the orchestra?

Traditionally, the Concertmaster (usually the first chair violinist) tunes his violin to a known standard pitch like A-440 and then the other orchestral instruments tune to his or her pitch.
