Both. It depends on whether the home team is at bat or on the field. If the home team is on the field, they use their own pitcher.
A team's best starting pitcher is often referred to as the "ace." The ace is typically the most talented and reliable pitcher on the roster, frequently assigned to start important games, such as those in the playoffs or against strong opponents. This pitcher usually has a strong track record of performance and is expected to lead the pitching staff.
Yes, although highly unlikely. Such a feat would require a pitcher being the last person to pitch for his team in a suspended game. That pitcher would then need to be traded to the other team involved in the suspended game. Before another pitcher pitches for his original team, the pitcher would need to enter the game and give up enough runs so that his new team is losing (this would only work if they were originally leading or tied). The lead would have to be preserved, such that he pitcher is still the pitcher of record for his old team and gets the win but is also now the pitcher of record for his new team and so gets the loss as well. Normally, in order to win you must be pitching at the time your team wins or the last pitcher to pitch when your team gains the lead. If you give up the lead, and your team cannot get it back, you will be the losing pitcher. If you are pitching when your team loses the lead, but your team does tie or gain the lead, it is concidered a 'no decision' and you will not record a win or a loss.
