Of a sort. Pluto is too cold and has too little of an atmosphere to support the formation of cloud, but cryovolcanoes eject cold material from Pluto's slightly warmer interio, resulting in a sort of "snow" of frozen nitrogen.

Yes, there is! It is so cold because it is so far away from the sun that it is basically just an icy rock floating in space, with a supposed ocean hidden under the thick layers of ice. It's surface is mainly just methane and ice.

Not precipitation (rain and snow) as on Earth.

There is some water in the upper atmosphere as well as sulfur dioxide. These combine to produce sulfuric acid that can rain down into the lower atmosphere.

However, the temperatures near the surface are so high (450°C and up) that this precipitation evaporates and never gets to the ground.
