Yes, always take the nearest lane. Someone turning right or a pedestrian can jump out. Change lanes if needed after the turn. It's both safer & the law. Most importantly, other drivers will assume you are taking the near lane & jump into the other one.
If that lane is reserved for parking, then no. A parking lane is exactly that - a lane for parking. If it's a parking lane which ends before the intersection and then becomes a turn lane, then you would turn into it. However, if it's still a parking lane up to the intersection, then you would stay out of it.

You should always only turn from the lane closest to the direction you wish to turn. For example you will turn only from the far left lane if you are turning to the left. If you wish to turn right then you will have to do this from the far right lane only.

When turning onto a road with two or more lanes you should turn into the nearest lane. If the road you are turning from has two lanes marked for turning left there will usually be broken lane lines through the turn to show the lanes you should stay in. If they are worn away the furthest lane left turns into the nearest lane and the second lane from the left turns into the second lane from the left of the road you are turning onto. Once on the new road and it is clear you can start changing lanes. Its a bad idea to change lanes during the turn as if there is an accident you could be ticketed for an unsafe lane change

Yes, it is.
The center turn lane is for turning left only. It is NOT used for passing, merging, making right turns, or for traveling more than 50 feet before turning left. It was primarily designed to get out of the traveling lane when making a left turn consequently, not stopping traffic. Some states it is unlawful to pass a car, that is on the right, when you are in the center lane.
