Yes. However there are two families Heteropneustes and Clariidae that have bladders that act in a lung like way in addition to gills. There are zillions of species of cat fish and scientists are still changing the lists around.

Most do they are just toothless and have sandpaper like lips allowing them to grasp food. There are some exceptions such as sucker fish but they still have a upper jaw.

Yes they do. They just have a "horn" coming out of it for strength and protection and many people mistake that as not having fins.

A catfish does not have any thumbs at all, let alone opposable thumbs. Fish do not have limbs from which they grow fingers or thumbs; they have fins.
