This is usually the case but not always. You'll need to check before you buy the fish.

No, but majority are, some prefer salt water but can stand fresh, but some like brackish water (low salt water).

Freshwater fish are easier and much cheaper.

Tropical simply refers to the waters temperature, and has no bearing on salinity level. Tropical just means warm. You can have both freshwater and marine tropical fish.
