They can do if they find it in the right place. But they are too large to get seed from most feeders. (Rooks and Jackdaws have been seeen on bird feeders!)
No, ravens are about 30% larger than crows.
Yes. Not only the same family, corvidae, but even the same genus, Corvus. The common American crow is Corvus brachyrhynchos, and the common raven is C. corax. All birds commonly called "crows" or "ravens" are in the genus Corvus, along with rooks and jackdaws (about 40 or so species in all). The crow family, corvidae, includes jays and magpies as well. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crow.
There are approximately 40 recognized species of crows worldwide, belonging to the genus Corvus. This group includes not only crows but also ravens, rooks, and jackdaws. Crows are found on every continent except South America and Antarctica, exhibiting a wide range of adaptations to different environments. Their intelligence and adaptability make them one of the most successful avian groups globally.
Ravens are probably more solitary than crows are, as crows are often found in groups of more than four or five birds, whereas ravens are more likely to be with a partner than a group.

Yes, ravens do eat squirrels. This afternoon I observed a raven, who was being mobbed by approximately thirty crows, raiding a squirrel's nest situated in a Douglas fir. Minutes later the raven landed on the ground, with a dead juvenile squirrel in its beak.
