Anyone may serve at Mass IF the priest celebrating the Mass allows, it would be up to the individual priest who was the celebrant.

A priest (Refereing to a Catholic) does mass as transfiguration / communion as transubstation and a vicar does a service in rememberance only. If i was you, i would go for option one , it is a true mass.

The priest leading the celebration of Mass can be called Father [name]. Sometimes the priest is referred to by his position, pastor, but not usually during Mass.
I think its 'Amen". I haven't been to church in ages, but it seemed to go "In the name of the Father , the Son and the Holy Ghost, Amen".
