A synthesizer does not sound like a piano. You could create piano type sounds on one though. A synthesizer is basically a set of oscillators that modify a waveform to create a sound. There's a bunch of different types of filters depending on the type of synthesizer.

I'm sorry, the answer is no. The piano sounds are created by a hammer striking a string. The harpsichord strings are plucked by a plectrum so the sound fades away quicker. Even though they are pitched the same, the strings are put together differently. The best advice I can give is to avoid using the pedal on the piano and use a crisp, clean touch of the fingers.
