Extracellular ions are ions found outside of a cell or tissue. This includes things in the interstitial spaces and fluids, ions in your blood, lymph and other fluids that help cushion or provide nutrition for a tissue.
No; the major intracellular anion is phosphate.
The chief intracellular cation is potassium (K+). It plays a vital role in maintaining cell function, including membrane potential and cellular signaling. Potassium is involved in various cellular processes such as muscle contraction and nerve transmission.

Cl -As this is a negatively charged ion it is a anion.

I think it depends mostly on which formula you are using. The more commonly used formula for anion gap is [Na+] − ([Cl−] + [HCO3−]). If you are using the other equation that includes Potassium ([Na+] + [K+]) − ([Cl−] + [HCO3−]) remember that Potassium is significantly increased with hemolysis due to it being mainly intracellular. This would result in a false increase of the anion gap due to hemolysis. I don't think using the former equation would result in that significant of a change since the other electrolytes are not affected much by hemolysis.
There are more than 2. Any molecule with a negative charge is an anion. Inside cells, these include bicarbonate, chloride, ATP, and any other molecule with phosphate groups, and amino acids having negative charge (glutamate, aspartate). So, there are a wide variety of intracellular anions.
