The word respirator has no perfect rhymes.
Yes. Respirator only keep lungs going.
No. A respirator and ventilator are alike, but different. A ventilator is what they out people on either life support or during surgery. A respirator is used to help breathing not do it for you! (:
Any respirator will do. Make sure you're buying a "respirator" and not just a mask. The packaging will say "respirator". If you are working in an attic, especially in summer, you'll be apt to remove the respirator because of the heat and discomfort as well as the inability to communicate with others (I know this personally). However, if you do this, you might as well not even wear the respirator in the first place. If you're entering an area that you know contains rodents, just try to get the job done as quickly as you can with the respirator on. I was an electrician and worked in lots of old houses and I got used to wearing the respirator. I was also a soldier and learned the importance of trusting my equipment. A respirator is much more comfortable than an NBC pro mask.

"Respirator" is an old word used for the machine most health care personnel would today call a "ventilator". The only time I hear the word "respirator" used today is when talking about respirator masks, which are the specialized masks worn by health care workers when coming into close contact with tuberculosis patients.
ventilator, also called a respirator
If it is only the dust you are worried about then a particulate respirator will provide protection, i.e. a N95 up to a P100. That is if there is enough oxygen in the area that you can use an air purifying respirator. If not then you would need to use supplied air. Supplied air is often used during the fumigation process where a cartridge respirator may not provide adequat protection.
Yes. If one cannot survive without intubation and mechanical ventilation (a respirator), then that would be considered artificial life support.
That would be a "Respirator".
