Speaker of the House of Representatives, if qualified, is next in line. However, note that there is now a procedure for replacing the vice-president if the President is still alive. That would be the usual situation.
Yes. There are provisions in the 25th amendment whereby the powers of the President can temporarily be assigned to the vice-president.
So that if one location was attacked and the President was killed, then the Vice-President would still be alive and able to run the country.

Richard Bruce (Dick) Cheney was the Vice President of the US before Vice President Joe Biden.
If the President dies (or is permanently incapacitated), the Vice President succeeds to the Presidency for the remainder of the President's term. If there is sufficient time involved, a new Vice President will be nominated to serve the Vice President's term. If the President is alive but temporarily incapacitated, there is a complicated procedure for allowing the Vice President to act as Acting President temporarily, as spelled out in the 25th Amendment to the US Constitution. The amendment considers the cases where the President voluntarily yields his powers or when he does not, as well as the process of returning the powers to the President if he recovers.
As of May 2010, Dan Quayle, the forty-fourth Vice-President of the United States, who served in the role under George HW Bush, is still alive.
