Graphite is made up of sheets of conjugated aromatic benzene rings. If you consider the structures of dye molecules, you will see that the more conjugated a dye molecule is, the higher the extinction coefficient. Graphite is in effect the ultimate conjugated organic system; it has unlimited pi electrons to absorb light. So Graphite absorbs all light, however reflects none.

No, graphite is a form of carbon mineral, so it is black like coal. As a color, it is typically used to refer to black or grey items, so an item could appear to be a grey-blue, but it usually it not.

Yes, it is. Graphite, an allotrope of carbon, occurs in basically three forms, and all of them present as "black" stuff. Wikipedia has more information, and a link is provided.
