I assume you mean hamon in which case, the hamon on a sword is a thin line near the edge-usually in a wavy profile. To the untrained eye, this might seem to be a flaw but it's a indication of how it was heat treated.

Yes, you can paint foam. Although I wouldn't paint the handle, it could rub off on your hands and get... icky.
Not all swords are real. A real sword will have proper harmonic/dynamic balance, proper blade/hilt proportions for the given size/design, proper tapers (distal or otherwise) to aid in keeping the dyanamic/harmonic balance, proper edge geometry (it's not a knife, and it's not a axe) and will properly be heat treated. It shouldn't be as hard as a knife, but it shouldn't be that much softer either.
With that being said-real swords do not come cheap. Even the very few real swords that are manufactured cost in the hundreds and handmades usually cost in the thousands.
Unfortunately-I seem to have forgotten the name of one of the few manufacturers and I don't know of any others.
