I think that the paste contains a lot of fat, called "cocoa butter" which is extracted..
Cocoa beans are not "made" out of anything. They are a type of plant and seed pod that is grown and then harvested into cocoa powder, which is later turned into chocolate.

Cocoa powder is made from roasted and ground cacao beans, which are the seeds of the fruit of the cacao tree. The beans are fermented, dried, roasted, and then processed to extract the fat (cocoa butter), leaving behind the cocoa solids, which are then ground into a fine powder.
Cocoa powder is made by grinding cocoa beans after they have been fermented, dried, roasted, and husked. The beans are ground into a paste called chocolate liquor, which is then pressed to remove the cocoa butter, leaving behind cocoa solids that are further processed into a fine powder.

It is cocoa beans that have been harvested and roasted and then ground into a very thin, pure powder called cocoa powder. It is almost always unsweetened.
Usually yes. Some recipes specify "baking" cocoa powder just so that nobody gets confused and uses "drinking chocolate mix" instead (since this contains sugar and milk powder which would throw off the recipe).

Cocoa powder is a mixture of substances.
Cocoa beans comes from the cacao tree, most of which are currently farmed in West Africa. In order to make cocoa, the beans are roasted, cracked up, then ground into powder, before being processed into various chocolate-based products.
