Latrotoxin is the poison that is in a black widow spider's bite.
Specifically, the arachnid in question (Lactrodectus spp) carries venom which functions as a neurotoxin. Latrotoxin therefore impacts the human system for 3-7 days in milder cases and in 21+ days in more extreme cases. The most extreme reaction will be death, on the way to which there will be abdominal cramps, extreme sweating, muscle pain, and sustained readings of high blood pressure and heart beats.
No, many are not. Solifugae are not, nor are mites or ticks. Many spiders and scorpions inject venom, but not all do.
Identifying Spiders is very difficult without having a picture to help. so many spiders are similar in size length and color patterns.

For 3 years, we never had a single edible strawberry in our garden. Then, last year, we suddenly had hundreds! As I was gathering all of the strawberries, I thought I saw a rock move!? Upon closer inspection, the "rock" turned out to be a BLACK WIDOW SPIDER! I was barefoot so I couldn't step on her and couldn't take the chance on her getting away and risking a painful & dangerous bite, so I scooped her into a jar and we kept her until she passed from natural causes. She was eating all of the bugs that were eating our strawberries and once we removed her now we again don't have any edible strawberries. I learned a lot from her and now we try to educate people on how useful spiders are so they don't smash them.

How are crustaceans similar to arachnids?
Arachnids and crustaceans are both arthropods and both have exoskeletons.
Yes, they do. In a study in Miami, Florida, it was proven that some arachnoids (like tarantulas) do, in fact, prey on small birds. However, since hummingbirds are so quick, it is rare that a tarantula or other spider will actually catch the bird; usually, an injured or sick hummingbird is found, and the tarantula takes the bird back to its web, where it finishes the job.
Hope that was helpful!
