I would not say they are toxic, according to OSHA. They release some carcinogens, but basically anything burning does. Anything that burns releases carcinogens! Stop freaking out about it! Having carcinogens is not the same as being toxic!

YES, unless its container specifically states otherwise, such as some candle-making waxes. Paraffin waxes such as Gulf Wax are commonly used in making chocolate candies.

Yes, paraffin is soluble in alcohol. I have personally dissolved paraffin in alcohol. But I can tell you that it dissolves very slowly unless the alcohol is heated. If you use the right proportions of paraffin and alcohol, what you get is a paraffin paste. You can use this to wax furniture, etc.
