Actually, the answer is yes! All ionic substances are soluble in water. Some are just much more soluble than others, but every ionic substance is soluble to some extent. If the solubility of an ionic compound is very small and it is placed in some water, it may be difficult to tell by a visual inspection that anything dissolves at all, but the extent to which an ionic substance dissolves can easily be determined by measuring how well the water conducts electricity after the addition of the ionic substance.
Ionic compounds in which both the cation and anion have charges of +/-1 are usually quite soluble. The solubility of ionic compounds that involve an ion with a charge of +/-2, or greater, tends to become somewhat small in many cases. This is especially true if both the cation and anion have charges of +/-2 or greater. In these cases the solubility limit of the compound may become so small (but still not zero!) that it could be said, for all practical purposes, that the compound is insoluble.

No. The solubility of the compound will vary depending on the positive and negative ions. You can easily look up a solubility table on the web. Also, any good classroom periodic table should show solubility as well.
Hope this helps.

No, there are many ionic compond that are insoluble in water like AgCl, CuCl2, FeO, ....
