fire
yes
Electricity heats up wires in the toaster, you put bread in, push the lever down and the bread is pressed against the wire. The high temperature of the wires toast the bread and when a specified length of time is up the toast pops up and wallah, toast! If you are asking why the bread gets toasted, sugars in the bread are caramelized by the heat.
Toasters have been round a long time and have come a long ways from the days when people put their bread in the toaster and then had to constantly watch that the toast did not burn. These day's companies like Breville manufacture stylish toasters which can make perfect toast, bagels and even frozen pastries.

No, it was not possible. William Faulkner passed away in 1962, while automatic toasters were not commercially available until the 1920s and became popular in the 1930s. Faulkner could not have used one to toast bread.
