There are many kosher symbols, many reliable, and many not. Take a look at http://crcweb.org/kosher/consumer/Agency_List.html

No, but there are kosher companies that make spices. Just look for the kosher symbols on the products.

Yes - If you look at the can, you will see the letter "U" with a circle around it. This is one of the symbols attached toproducts to indicate that it is Kosher.
Kosher symbols are the signs on food packaging or eating establishments that show the food is kosher. A kosher symbol will carry a name of a recognized rabbi or kosher inspection agency. When a kosher customer goes shopping, he/she will look out for those signs to know what to buy. Different places have different kosher symbols, so you often need to check with the locals to know what's reliable. Some well-known symbols include: USA- "OK" an O with a K inside, "OU", "Star K" a star with a K inside, "Chaf K" a backwards C with a K inside, CRC (Chicago) in a triangle, "CHK" a large C with HK inside and a crown on the C, "KAJ" UK- "Kedassia" (London), MK in a circle, "KLBD", Australia- Kosher Australia (K in an Oz map), Melbourne Kosher Canada- MK in a circle, COR in a circle. South Africa- "BD" in a diamond. And, of course, a host of Israeli symbols. You really need to know what's what in Israel, because there are a few unreliable symbols floating about. Please note that a plain "K" is never a genuine kosher symbol.
The kaskrut symbol (hechsher) is a U in a circle and this belongs to The Union of Orthodox Rabbis.

Two requirements (there are many many more than just two) for keeping kosher are:Two sets of everything (pots and pans, dishes, cutlery, etc) - one for meat and one for dairy.A knowledge of accepted hechshers - symbols on commercial food products that indicate they are kosher.
In many countries (like England, America, South Africa, Israel) with a strong Jewish presence, Kosher foods are marked with symbols. However, many foods that are not marked are also Kosher; notably fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh water, etc. Other countries have a list of foods that have been checked and certified as Kosher.
It is kosher so long as it is certified kosher.
