they didn't. Germany invaded Belgium in a sense to draw french and british troops to aid their ally. in the process, Germany flanked the french and british forces cutting their troops in halves which eventually led to the fall of France. one of the biggest questions early on in the war is why France didn't retaliate to the invasion of Poland considering it neighbored Germany. so, France and Britain declared war once the Germans invaded belgium.

Yes, both France and Britain has a guarantee to protect the sovereignty of Poland. They Declared war on Germany on the 3rd September 1939 a mere 2 days after the German invasion of Poland began.

No.

The Protocol of War is that when somebody has declared on you, you do not have to declare war on them in order to engage them in hostilities (otherwise you would be waiting until your parliament gave you permission to fight which would result in the "Belgian Peacekeeper scenario" or worse). Therefore Nazi Germany did not have to declare war on Britain. It was assumed that they would engage Britain on the battlefield after the British declared war on September 3, 1939.
