No, the 101st Airborne Division was not called up to Korea during the conflict, however elements of the 101st were grouped with elements from other divisions to form special units like LRRPs (Long Range Recon Patrols) etc.
You wear the unit's awards; however, if you were a part of unit at the time it earned a unit award, those awards carry over with you.
The only whole Airborne division is the 82nd. Although 101st still bears the Airborne tab above their unit insignia, they are not an airborne unit.

The 82nd Airborne Division is the only actual US Airborne division in service. The 101st retains their Airborne tab, but the only parachute unit in the 101st now is the LRS-D. There is also the 173rd Airborne Brigade, stationed in Vincenza, Italy.

The 173rd Abn Bde and possibly the 82nd Abn Div reportedly made a combat jump in Vietnam. The 101st Abn was redesignated an Airmobile Division in Vietnam, however the unit patches tab still retained it's AIRBORNE designation, and stationary reflected the title, "101st Airborne (Airmobile) Division."

Negative, the first cav was the Army's airmobility force. They were not an airborne(paratrooper) unit. I believe that the only large scale jump was made by the 101st in 1967.
