The hairless gene is a genetic mutation that occured naturally, and was bred purposefully. There are indigenous rats in some areas that have the hairless gene, but they are rare since natural selection does not favor a rat being hairless.
Most rats, if not all, have a predominantly hairless tail, with few wisker-like bristles on them.
Hairless rats live as long as normal rats do; 2-3 years with proper care.
Sure you can :)
No. Guinea pig food does not contain the right balance of nutrients for (hairless) rats. Hairless rats eat the same diet as normal rats. A safe food would be "lab" blocks, which can be found in any pet store or Wal-Mart.
True hairless rats (they have no whiskers) are rare. The type you are likely referring to are those that are bred from two rexes (curly haired rats). Hairless rats should not be any different from haired rats, other than the lack of hair of course! You'll find each rat has their own personality anyway :)

No. Rat-kangaroos are marsupials and quite different to rats and kangaroo-rats, which are placental mammals. Rat-kangaroos do not have a hairless tail, and some species actually have a hairier tail than larger members of the macropod family.
