Check the Idle Air Control (IAC) and the EGR valve. Either one or both might need cleaning.
It can. But it could also be a number of other things. My car recently had this problem, but it turned out to be a firing problem and not the converter. so i'd say have all the cheeper stuff checked first.
Check all vacuum hoses. You should be able to hear the hiss.
