Sorry, they are just not electric. While jellyfish do sting, this has nothing to do with electricity. Jellyfish have specialized cells on their tentacles called Cnidocytes. These cells have "triggers" that, when activated by prey, discharge a thread that punctures and injects poison into the prey.

No. When a jellyfish's tentacle touches you, it activates a trigger that sends a barb into you. This barb is much like a bee's stinger, but attached to a strand of tissue.

Maybe, but it might get seriously damaged if it did.
