No, he was a publisher and book agent.
No, you don't. The only opinions that count are yours and your agent and editor. If you are satisfied that you have written the best book you can, then send it to a publisher or agent and they will tell you if it's good enough to be sold.
Usually, the writer has an agent. The agent will find a publisher who wants to buy the book. The writer will sign a contract agreeing to sell different rights to the publisher (usually First North American Rights, which means they can publish it the first time in North America) and is paid a flat fee for this. They can also get royalties later if the books sell really well - this is a percentage of the profit. Oh, and the agent gets paid a percentage of the fees for all their hard work finding the publisher. Remember, each type of right that a writer sells means money for them, so you don't want to sign away all your rights to the publisher at once -- they will need to renegotiate for rights in foreign countries, for e-book rights, for movie rights, etc.
The best way is to submit it to either a literary agent or a publisher. If it's good enough, they'll help you edit it to make it perfect. One note - don't pay an agent or a publisher. If your writing is good enough to sell, you don't need to pay to publish it.

It depends on whether you mean short stories or novel stories. For both, you need to get the latest issue of Writer's Market - but for short stories you're looking for magazines that publish the sorts of stories you write and for novels you're looking for either an agent or a publisher. It's much easier to find an agent if you have a novel finished, then let them do the work of finding a publisher while you keep writing.In either case, read the submission guidelines carefully and do what they ask, so they're more likely to actually read your stories. Don't send a romance story to a horror magazine, for example, or write in an unusual font when they ask for Times New Roman.

This information (I believe) cannot be found without consulting an agent. It may be worth finding an agent and asking them.
To get your book published you should send a manuscript to an editor and publisher. Or you could self publish. It is also easier if you have an agent to help you.
After you have sold your book to a publisher! It's just as hard to get an agent sometimes, as it is to sell the book -- so most editors and authors recommend that you just sell the book yourself, then hire the agent to help get you the best contract and the most money!
