Yes. Notaries are only prohibited from notarizing for a spouse, parent, or child. The governor's office does not recommend that notaries notarize for any family members, but notarizing for in-laws is not prohibited by law.

Additionally, the signer must appear in person before the notary during the notarization process.
Yes, a notary public can notarize a document for a sister-in-law as long as there is no conflict of interest and the notary is not a party to the document being notarized. The notary must follow the standard procedures, including verifying the identity of the signer and ensuring they are signing willingly. However, it's advisable for the notary to check their state laws, as some jurisdictions may have specific rules regarding notarizing documents for relatives.
I have not found anything specifically stating that a notary can not notarize something for their sister. The Florida statutes do state "A notary public may not notarize a signature on a document if: The person whose signature is to be notarized is the spouse, son, daughter, mother, or father of the notary public. §117.107(11)"It seems to be allowed, but I would personally find someone else to do it just to be sure.

Generally, a notary can only notarize signatures while in a state in which they have a notary commission, for the most part. Notaries can hold commissions from multiple states (in some cases). Some states also provide reciprocity to other states, meaning a notary from one state can legally notarize documents in another (although this is not common). Whether they can notarize wills or not is another question. They almost certainly can, if they can notarize at all. Unfortunately, you will need to check your state laws to be sure.
