Answer 1

It depends on the context. If you are talking about the Chinese language, Chinese is Zhong Wen (中文）. If you are talking about Chinese people, then you may call them Hua Ren (华人). If you are talking about people from China, then you may described them as Zhong Guo Ren (中国人).

It has several meanings, one is "中国人"（zhōng guó rén），

another means "汉语"（hàn yǔ）
People may say, 中文 (zhong wen, which is pronounced jong wen for those who can't read pinyin) to mean chinese language. Some may also say, 中國話 (zhong (jong) guo hua) to mean the same thing as the first. If you mean Chinese as in the people, it is 中國人 (zhong guo ren) to mean a chinese person.
