Yes off course. Paying off any debts will increase your credit score.
yes, the credit score is affected. The people pulling your credit look at it this way, they want to know if you paid back what you borrowed with no problems, if there was a problem, or if they settled on a different amount, which means they took a loss.

Not necessarily. It is possible to co-own a car, be on title, and not have borrowed money for the vehicle. Credit history is established when you borrow money. It is a record of how you have paid the money back. If you purchased a car with someone else by paying one lump sum, and never borrowed; then co-owning would not have established any credit history for you.

A Credit Card is a card that enables you access to a line of credit offered by banks and some other places. When you use the card to 'pay' for something, the bank is paying for it, it is like a loan. The bank charges you a fee for this service, called interest, a percentage of the borrowed money.
