Princess Margaret's son is David Armstrong-Jones, 2nd Earl of Snowdon. His title at birth was Viscount Linley, and he became the Earl of Snowdon after his father, the 1st Earl of Snowdon, died in 2017.
No. The eldest son of an Earl usually takes on one of his father's lesser titles: for instance say the Earl of X also has the titles Viscount Y and Baron Z. The Earl's son is thus known as Viscount Y. If Viscount Y has a son in his father's lifetime, that son, the Earl's grandson becomes known as Baron Z. Note that these titles are courtesy titles, and are not official. The Earl of X's son may be known as Viscount Y, but the official Viscount Y is still the Earl himself. Note also that in some cases an Earl will not have any lesser subsidiary titles (i.e. the Earl Temple of Stowe). In such a case, the Earl's son and heir will be given a made-up title (the Earl Temple's son is known as Lord Langton, a title that does not legally exist). These same rules apply to Dukes and Marquesses, but not to Viscounts or Barons: sons of Viscounts and Barons are not entitled to courtesy titles.
Depends. Most Earls have ancestors who were promoted in the peerage, so they also have the title of Viscount or (less often) Baron. The secondary title will then be lent to the eldest son as a Courtesy Title. So the son of the Earl of Muckshire might be Viscount Mucktown - until Daddy dies and he becomes the Earl himself, and the Viscount title moves to his eldest. If there is no secondary title (rare), then the eldest son, like all the other sons, is The Honorable Fred Muck. Assuming that there is a secondary title, the courtesy title is in the form Lord (given name + family name - which is often not the same as the title). For example, Lord John Smithers, while his father would usually be referred to as, say, Lord Hirst, or very formally as Henry Harrison Hartley Earl of Hirst.
A feminine version of the title Earl was never developed. The wife of an Earl is called a Countess. A female Earl would probably consider themselves a Countess, although they are not married. An Earl is somewhat similar to the Nordic title of Jarl, a female Jarl is called a Jarlin. But there is no official title for a female Earl.
