He said that the Holy Spirit was like Fire.
The direct answer to your question is NO. John the Baptist was not born of a virgin like Christ. The angel Gabriel visits Zacharias while he is duing priestly work in the temple. The angel tells Zacharias that his wife Elizabeth will bear him a son and call his name John. The angel informs Zacharias that his son will be filled with the Holy Spirit from birth. (Luke 1:13-15). Because Zacharias does not believe the news of the birth of a son, he is deaf until his son is born. Like Christ, John the Baptist was filled with the Spirit from birth. However, only Jesus was born of a virgin and was sinless. John the Baptist had a sinful nature just like us and had to believe that Jesus was the Christ (Messiah). Jesus had a heavenly father and John the Baptist had an earthly father like all other humans. Jesus was the exception.
John the Baptist was beheaded by Herod the king. Herod did not like it that John told him he was a sinner.

No, John the Baptist was never in Hades. When he died he went straight to heaven like all belivers do.

Salome, the mother of the sons of Zebedee, was a different Salome who had the Baptist killed. The Salome who had him killed, did so at her mother's request.
John the Baptist, just like all Jewish boys, was circumcised and named on the 8th day after his birth.
