Yes, animals must be slaughtered in a particular way, certain meats can only be eaten, etc. You can get more information here: http://www.jewfaq.org/kashrut.htm
My favorite law is that if you animal dies, it's not kosher, you and your family can't eat it, but you can prepare it and feed it to a gentile.

Yep, also for God's people. Read Leviticus 11 and you will find health laws that were given to the Jews at the time of their release from their captors but it went back a lot further than that. See Genesis 7 where talks about the flood. Noah was told to take the unclean animals by twos but the clean animals by sevens. Where were the jews then? There were none but yet Noah knew what the laws were about the clean and unclean animals. It is a health guide that all of God's people should be following, not just Jewish. Seeing what troubles there are with meat today, it would be a lot healthier to not only go with God's health laws but go total vegetarian. Lots healthier too.

it depends on how strict they are, if they eat a kosher diet there are several restrictions. I do not know all of them but I do know they do not eat any meat from the back half of the animal, no pork, no shell fish and no meat and dairy in the same meal.
