Becausethey are under a great pressure under the Earth's surface.
yes
The fossils will be crushed under the pressures required to create metamorphic rocks and they will melt in the heat required to make igneous rocks.
It's when parts of both igneous and metamorphic rocks are crushed together and then they form sedimentary rocks.

Igneous and metamorphic rocks often appear to be made primarily of intergrown crystals due to the process of cooling and solidification for igneous rocks and recrystallization for metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are typically composed of compacted and cemented sediment particles rather than intergrown crystals.
Metamorphic rocks are rocks that have "morphed" into another kind of rock. These rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks. How do sedimentary and igneous rocks change? The rocks are under tons and tons of pressure, which fosters heat build up, and this causes them to change. If you exam metamorphic rock samples closely, you'll discover how flattened some of the grains in the rock are.
No. Metamorphic rocks can also from front sedimentary rocks and from other metamorphic rocks.

Metamorphic Rocks
Metamorphic rocks are formed from igneous, sedimentary, or other metamorphic rocks. The change is brought about by either contact with an intrusive plutonic body, or by enormous pressure and heat usually derived from lithospheric plate collisions.
