A 'Full Moon' happens when the Moon is behind the Earth (but not in it's shadow) so, yes, a Full Moon happens all over the World at the same time. Likewise a New Moon, etc.

Yes. When the Sun and the Moon are on opposite sides of the Earth, the Moon appears full to an observer on Earth. However, the Moon may appear at different times and different distances from the horizon in another country depending on that country's latitude and longitude.

Not exactly. But to the unaided eye, generally yes.
Strictly speaking, when astronomers compute the actual time of the full moon, it is considered full during the time span ±12 hours from the true time of the astronomical full moon, when the moon's longitude = solar longitude +180 degrees..
But to the naked eye, it generally appears to be full from anywhere it is visible at the same moment.
