Increasing the reserve requirement for banks will make less money available to borrowers and thus slow the economy's growth.

All member banks of the Federal Reserve in USA can and do borrow money from the federal reserve. The Federal Reserve is the banker of banks to whom the banks go when they need money.
Federal Reserve Banks
Actually the federal reserve system is not affiliated with any banks. The banks are affiliated to the federal reserve. The Federal Reserve is the central bank of the United States of America and it supervises/oversees the banking operations of all banks in USA. They are responsible for the proper functioning of all the banks and they are also the lender to the banks (The place where banks go to borrow money if they are short of funds)
The reserve requirement (or cash reserve ratio) is a central bank regulation that sets the minimum reserves each commercial bank must hold (rather than lend out) of customer deposits and notes. It is normally in the form of cash stored physically in a bank vault (vault cash) or deposits made with a central bank. The reserve requirement can be used as an instrument of monetary policy, because the higher the reserve requirement is set, the less funds banks will have to loan out, leading to lower money creation and perhaps ultimately to higher purchasing power of the money previously in use. The required reserve ratio is sometimes used as a tool in monetary policy, influencing the country's borrowing and interest rates by changing the amount of funds available for banks to make loans with.

If the Federal Reserve decided to increase the reserve requirement in banks, it is likely that banks would be targeted more often for robbery. This would be because there would be more money in every federally-insured bank.

Usually the Central Banks of each country decide such margin requirements. Ratios like Cash Reserve Ratio, Liquidity Ratio etc are set by the Central Banks like Reserve Bank of India or Federal Reserve of USA. All member banks are expected and supposed to follow these guidelines set by the central banks.
Yes, the amount a bank can lend depends on the amount of money they have plus a reserve requirement. For example, if a bank's reserve requirement is 10% and you deposit $10,000 the bank can lend a maximum of $100,000 based on your 10k, and this sums up for all it's money.

False, before 1980 it was the case but today the new legislation requires all commercial banks to be members of the federal reserve system. All depository institutions became subject to the same requirements to keep deposits at the Federal Reserve. Members or not members are now on equal footing in ters of reserve requirement.
