No. The meteor would vaporize before hitting the Sun, and the vapor would be carried away by the solar wind. Even very large asteroids or comets are minuscule in size compared to the mass of the Sun.

Yes, they do. This is called a nova or supernova, depending on its mass. The supernova outshines every star you can see usually depending on the distance. If a star is big enough, the supernova can create a black hole in space. The crab nebula was formed by a supernovas about 1,000 years ago.

No. Stars are massive and main of various gases. A meteor can be as small as a piece of dust. They are completely different kinds of things. So a star cannot become a meteor. An incorrect term for a meteor is a shooting star, but meteors are not stars. They are just small items burning up as they enter the Earth's atmosphere.
