Yes.. offhand, I know of two. Magnum Research made the Desert Eagle available in .357 Magnum, and Coonan Arms manufactured a semi-auto .357 Magnum, based on the M1911 pattern pistols.
No, there are .357 caliber bullets that are not magnum, but they are in the minority.

.357 Magnum will have more recoil.
If the weapon is chambered in 357 Magnum, you can fire the round in it.
No. You can get a Sig P229 that will fire .357 Sig, but that is not the same as .357 magnum.
