Yes, this is possible if you earn enough and the plans allow it. Your total contribution amount, 401k plus 403b can not exceed the $15,500 ($20,500 if over age 50) for 2008.
Yes. Whether or not you can deduct the IRA contribution depends on a variety of factors. Whether or not you can contribute to a Roth IRA depends on your income (or that of you and your spouse combined, if you are married).

Our first priority while working is to earn sufficient funds to meet our daily living requirements. If our 403b contributions take away from our day to day needs, we are contributing too much or earning too little.
Yes you can contribute to all three however the 401k and the 403b share the same elective deferral limit (402(g) Limit) of 16,500 plus 5,500 for over age 50. 457 have a different limit (it's call a 457 limit) plus a separate age 50 catch up (only for governmental 457 plans) so your totals are 16,500 plus 5,500 for 401k and 403b 16,500 plus 5,500 for 457. Total $44,000

No, the employer matching contribution does not count toward the $15,500 contribution limit for 2008. If you are over age 50 at any time in 2008, you can contribute an additional $5,000 to your 403b plan.
