Yes. The drive type is DVD-Writer, which reads and writes to CDs and DVDs.

Yes. All burners are "backward compatible", which means they will also burn older, less dense media.
Yes there is Free DVD Cloner that is a program for Windows that allows you to Burn or grab any type of CDs or DVDs [Data CDs (or Mode 1 ISO CDs), Audio CDs] from an ISO image file. you can also burn and grab data DVDs, HD DVDs, Video DVDs and Blu-ray disks (ISO) .
The answer is of course, YES. Blu-ray burners, on standard, are backward compatible to DVD and CD formats, unless some manufacturer purposely made them not able to, which I don't see the point why. The only difference between various Blu-ray burners, is the speed that they can write to these formats.I have a DIGISTOR external Blu-Ray burner on my system, and it writes to all formats, albeit on different speeds. all the speeds are pretty fast on my drive though. Hope that helps.
Cameras, CDs, and DVDs
