Yes because the slaves' wages were more or less to nothing, so Britain industrialized quite easily.

I would think the slave trade was much more important to Britain's colonies than actually to Britain itself. In almost every colony Britain made the natives slaves while reaping/raping the countryside and profiteering from the bounty.

No, the industrial revolution was fueled by the new inventions of the day.

Not necessarily, depends on how you examine the pros and cons of it.
