Holw old is your rabbit?
Bunnies under a year can eat unlimited alfalfa pellets .Rabbits over a year old should be eatting very limited timothy based pellets - about 1/4 cup per 5 pounds of bunny.
Bunnies over 12 weeks can start to eat veggies. Your adult bunny should be eating lots of timothy hay and about 2 cups of green veggies every day. Good veggie choices include: flat leaf parsley, dill, cilantro, red lettuce
List of good veggies: http://www.rabbit.org/care/veggies.html
It is also very important to get your rabbit spayed or neutered, as female rabbits have a VERY high rate of uterine cancer in unspayed females.

Absolutely! My dwarf rabbit is now 11 years old and has eaten fruits and vegetables for years. We buy her the gourmet bunny food, it has dried fruits and veggies in it as well. But she'll eat carrots, lettuce (in small amounts) and especially apples! She loves alfalfa, and yogourt drops too. My rabbit would prefer to eat apples and yogourt drops anyday over regular rabbit pelets. They are included in the gourmet bunny food, but she picks though them, and doesn't want to eat those pieces, so we have extra vitamins that we put in her water.

Yes.
Rabbits enjoy most greens and they're good for them so you shouldn't worry.
Most rabbit magazines will suggest that you supplement your base diet (pellet food, complete food mix you buy from the pet store etc) with greens or vegetables.
This summer I even planted a bit of a rabbit garden for my senior bun. You can try some kale, collards, arugula, mustard greens, dandelion greens, chard, endive, broccoli, rosemary, basil, mint, parsley, or cilantro.
Your bunny will enjoy them and they're easy to grow.

Yes that is ok. It sounds like you need some rabbit education. Please read these websites and I recommend the book The House Rabbit Handbook.

rabbits eat veggies in the wild so it shouldn't be a problem with domesticated ones, i'm sure rabbit food doesn't taste too great (ask my 3 year old, he thought he'd give it a taste when i let him feed the bunny). my dwarf bunny liked pizza too....i wouldn't suggest giving it to yours.....

Of course, that's what rabbits eat.

In the wild a rabbit's natural diet would be vegetables.
Be careful about giving him lettuce, though. It could upset his tummy.

both are roughly the same except when it comes to protein. ALMOST ALL veggies include a respectable amount of protein; fruits does not.

The word fruits has different meanings depending on context.
