No, chromosomes vary from species to species.

A species is distinguished by individuals that can mate and have young that are capable of producing offspring. The number of chromosomes two individuals have must be the same for this to be possible.

No, not all species have the same amount of chromosomes.

Examples:

Ant: has 2

African Wild Dog: has 78

Cabbage: has 18

Slime mold: has 12

American Badger: has 32

No, all species have a different amount of chromosomes

^This is incorrect. There are at least 5 million species on Earth, yet the species with the most chromosomes is a fern with 1200, so it follows that there must be different species with the same number of chromosomes.

For example: Raccoons, tigers, pigs and lions all have 38 chromosomes.

It is not true to say that all members of each species have the same number of chromosomes. There are some which have the same number of chromosomes, but the majority differ.

The number of chromosomes can vary widely between species. However, in general, individuals of the same species have the same number of chromosomes.

In a species that reproduces sexually - do all the offspring inherit the same number of chromosomes from one generation to the next?

Meiosis causes the gametes (sex cells) to be haploid (containing half the amount of regular chromosomes). Thus, when the two sex cells combine during reproduction, the result is a fully diploid cell that contains the correct, and same, number of chromosomes.
