Yes, even plain water removes bacteria. Soap and water will remove 90%, special anti-bacterial soap will remove 98%. Is that extra 8% worth the money?

To some extent, yes. All surfactants are harmful to bacteria, although the required exposure time varies. Most conventional soaps require at least 5-10 minutes of constant contact to actually kill bacteria, assuming you don't have any organic debris the bugs can hide in. It won't kill bacterial spores, or most non-encapsulated viruses. Washing with soap is a helpful sanitary practice because it helps in the mechanical removal of bacteria, more than actually killing them.

No. If it is, it will state that it is on the label. Plus antibacterial soap is not good for you.

No. You have to look for it on the label.
