It depends on the shape of your lips when you blow.

Yes, it does, but it also depends on the position of the slide. Most brass instruments have valves which can switch in extra lengths of tube to produce lower notes; the Trombone has a hairpin-shaped tube which slides over two fixed lengths of tube.

Pulling the slide in towards your face shortens the total tube length, thus raising the pitch of the note.
