Consorts, whether King or Queen, have no real power. However, the Queen consort is given precedence above all others save the King. She is accountable to no one save the King. Provided that she has a son, she is likely untouchable.

Yes.

However, there is a notable difference. Kate would be a queen consort, which means she is only a queen because she is married to the King. Queen Elizabeth, on the other hand, is a queen regnant, which means she inherited the throne in her own right. As a queen consort, Kate Middleton would have the title Queen Catherine, but she would not hold any of her husband's powers.

'King' is the title reserved for a male sovereign, an actual ruler who gains the title through the line of succession. While 'Queen' in the UK applies to both a female sovereign, and also a non-royal woman who is married to the king, the important distinction is that the first is a Queen Regnant, with all the powers of a king, while the latter is a Queen Consort, who does not. Prince Phillip could be described as a King Consort, however traditionally the term Prince Consort is used.
