Frogs can eat commercialized pellets and feed sold in pet stores, but by nature they're scavengers and hunters. They will eat what they can find, but are primarily carnivores. In fact, most frogs can't really see their food unless it's moving right in front of them and their sense of smell isn't really a reliable method to find food like pellets, flakes, etc. Because of this, many frogs in pet stores are rather thin and unhealthy.

They will always prefer live feed resembling what they would eat in nature - worms (earthworms, bloodworms, tubifex, blackworms, etc) and insects; it's healthier for them to eat live foods. You should not feed them these things found in the wild as they may be contaminated with pesticides or organisms harmful to your frog. Most of these can be found in your average pet store, either live or frozen. It's easier (and cheaper) to find the freeze-dried forms of these foods but keep in mind that they do not contain as many nutrients, are a little more difficult to feed to your frog, and can cause bloating as freeze-dried foods absorb water and expand in your frog's belly. You can pre-soak the freeze-dried food prior to feeding to avoid this.

It depends. African dwarfs can live with pretty much any fish so it is up to the individual personality of the fish. Most goldfish seem to be just fine with little frogs but sometimes a large one will eat the limbs or the entirety of a dwarf frog.

Seeing as goldfish can only get so big, probably not. If it does, it is a rare occasion and probably doesn't happen very often.
