yes, Russian tortoises can eat carrots and in fact they love carrots!
Russian Tortoises can eat peas, i feed my Russian tortoise peas daily, although you can overfeed them very easily so i give my tortoise breakfast and dinner.
Petco's tortoises are wild caught adults, according to Russian Tortoise.org, a well-respected source.

they get on top of the girl tortoise
you can find them in any desert
no
no.
Because most Russian Tortoises in the pet trade are, in fact, wild caught, or are at least housed with those that are, it is advisable to go to the vet after purchase. Your vet can check for parasites that are common in wild caught tortoises.
Yes they do they hibernate 9 months a year
