The Beretta 92 series pistols have a chamber indicator on the top of the slide. It's basically a small rectangular square which protrudes from the top of the slide when there is a round present in the chamber. Simply running one's finger over the top of the slide will reveal whether or not this chamber indicator is protruding (thus indicating a round in the chamber if it is protruding, and indicating an empty chamber if it is not).

No. The length of the 10mm cartridge is necessary to achieve the proper headspace in a 10mm pistol. While a .40 cartridge would probably chamber, firing this round in a 10mm pistol is extremely dangerous, and can lead to damage to the weapon, as well as injury to the operator.
Difference between revolver and pistol?
Very generally speaking, a revolver has a revolving cylinder that rotates in order to bring a new round in line with the barrel. A pistol has a single chamber, and fresh rounds are fed into the chamber from a magazine. That is the more recent and slang use of those words. Revolvers and magazine fed semi-automatics are both pistols.
