No, they are the same species. Canis lupus is the Grey Wolf, and Canis lupus familiaris is the domesticated subspecies, the domestic dog.
People say Canis familiaris and they mean the domestic dog, but familiaris is not a species in of itself.
no
Yes, both are genus Canis. Wolves are Canis lupus. Scientists these days often classify dogs as Canis lupus familiaris and wolves as Canis lupus lupus. This is saying that they are not only the same genus, they are the same species. That third name is the subspecies level. They were originally classified as Canis lupus (wolf) and Canis vulgaris (dog). The Latin word "vulgaris" is not an insult, it just means common, in other words the "common dog." Later the name was changed to Canis familiaris--I guess because it sounded nicer. They were originally classified separately because they are reproductively isolated. In other words, dogs live in our homes, wolves live in remote forests, so how many dogs would ever even meet a wolf? Later, when times were more scientific, they were classified as one species because they are completely interfertile. In other words, dogs can mate with wolves and have fertile puppies, half-dog/half-wolves can mate with either dogs or wolves or each other and have fertile puppies, quarter- or eighth- or sixteenth- or thirty-second- or sixty-fourth- dogs or wolves can mate with either dogs or wolves (or each other) and have fertile puppies, and so on to infinity. As contrasted with horses and donkeys, which can mate and have offspring (mules) but the offspring are infertile.
