Few cardinals become pope. However, cardinals, at least those younger than 80, do elect a new pope. Most cardinals are archbishops and have the responsibilities of any archbishop. Some have special assignments from the pope such as being Papal Nuncios, members of the curia, running the various offices and congregations in the Vatican.
Any adult male Catholic may become Pope, although if you are not a Cardinal under the age of 80, your chances are pretty slim. Any Jesuit Cardinal would have the same likelihood as any other Cardinal, it's up to the Holy Spirit and the cooperation of the Cardinals with Him.

They lay eggs like other birds.
The northern cardinal and the brown-headed cowbird have a symbiotic relationship. The brown-headed cowbird lays its eggs in the cardinal's nest (and in the nests of other species, too, such as the yellow warbler). This harms the cardinal's chances to reproduce. It's a parasitic relationship.
Finding a cardinal's feather has no significance other that the pleasure of finding such a pretty thing. There is nothing supernatural involved.
