Does copyright mean that you can or cannot copy something?
It depends on whether you have the right or not. If you control the copyright to something (i.e., you drew/painted/wrote it), you have the exclusive right to copy it or authorize others to do so. If you do not control the copyright, you need an exemption in the law or permission from the copyright holder.

Yes, you should cite all sources. Just because something is no longer copyright does not mean that you can use it freely. You can be accused of plagiarism if you use it without citation.

Why are copyright protections longer than trademarks?
