In order to utilize Vonage for your home phone service you would need to sign up with Vonage so they could send you a Vonage phone adapter allowing you to use your existing phone for service.

VoIP is basically a phone service, so calling it such would make sense. There are other terms used for VoIP service as well though. Popular terms include Internet phone service, broadband phone service, hosted PBX, IP PBX, and so on.
Since phone service is pretty much ubiquitous, I'm pretty sure you could get phone service in your area. Basic phone service is regulated by your local public utilities commission, so I would search there for companies that offer service in your area.
For the most part, yes, home phone service plans have been replaced by cellular phone plans. This would be based on the amount of cellular phone service plans compared to home phone service plans.
