The ears aren't truly pink, they generally are just a lighter shade of the same colour as the rest of the rabbit's skin. However, the flesh on a rabbit's ears is very thin and they are more lightly furred. So when light passes through the capillaries carrying blood through the ears, it can give the appearance of a pink tinge. This is especially so on lighter colored animals such as white rabbits.

Most are, yes. rabbits large ears are furred on the outside, but the inside only has a very light layer that is very hard to see, the skin inside is almost always pink, but sometimes they can be a little different, perhaps more grey if the rabbit is black.

No, not in real life, unless you dye them.

No because they have some kind of traits or genes from there parents.

White rabbits can have pink, blue, or - like most other rabbits - dark brown eyes.
