They give information to the Police about a specific organization/group .etc and what they do, how they do it and when they do it

Sheesh! Does the word "CONFIDENTIAL" mean anything to you? There are no lists of drug trade informants available for public consumption and these lists are well safeguarded.

they didn't really, most of their work was supplied by informants.
very little, they were essentially police, but the rounding up of Jews was done by the local (ie French police in France) police forces. The Gestapo's largest role in the Holocaust was to investigate statments submitted by informants.

Informants are sometimes paid. Sometimes they just volunteer information. It varies.
