there are no animal cells that have a flagella, as animal cells, for the most part are stationary. Some move with aid by blood, etc. Only prokaryotes (Bacteria) have flagella, and only certain ones. I hope this clarifies the situation for you.

No. Some cells use cilia for movement. Other cells have neither flagella nor cilia and do not move of their own accord.

No. Most do, but certain bacteria do not have flagella, and can't move on their own.
