No, not all protists are considered to be autotrophs. Autotrophs are plantlike that gain energy from photosynthesis, while some protists are heterotrophs and gain energy from other organisms.

No, not all protozoans are heterotrophic, but almost all of them are. Heterotrophic means they have no way to produce their own food and have to seek it out.

Not necessarily. There are also chemosynthetic protists out there as well, that do not obtain energy from sunlight.
