A solute CAN be a gas, solid, or liquid as long as the solute that is used is capable of dissolving or mixing in the solvent. For example if a solid, such as a metal, is added to water, it is not a solute because it will not mix with the water. But, if you add NaCl, salt, to water it is solid when you pour it in and then dissolves. An example of a gas solute is CO2 in pop, and a liquid solute example is vinegar (acetic acid mixed with water).

Yes!
Many types of solutions exist, as solids, liquids and gases can be both solvent and solute, in any combination:

Yes.
Solid: NaCl in H2O
Liquid: ethanol in H2O
Gas: CO2 in H2O
Solvents can also be solid, liquid or gas. The link below has a table illustrating each.
