Pierre Plantard founded a Priory of Sion in France in 1956, so, yes, such an organization bearing that name does exist. The one to which you probably refer has been dubunked as a fraud created by Plantard in his effort to restore and claim the throne of France. However, the Knights Templar were real. If they created a secret society and the secret has been kept all these centuries, who knows?

Yes, though it is nothing like Brown describes in The Da Vinci Code.
Brown's Priory of Sion is entirely fictional

It is a book of fiction. The author said so himself in the overleaf. Nothing in it is to be taken seriously.

No it does not. It was a hoax perpetrated by a semi-fascist who wanted to create a lineage that would make himself king.
