Yes, bats have eyes. Most of them have rather good vision actually.
The microchiroptera do use echo-location to target flying prey at night, but other bat groups, like the megachiroptera, aka fruit bats use sight as their primary navigational sense.
Most of those bats don't even use echo-location at all (there are some, like the Egyptian tomb bat that do). Sonar isn't necessary, or even very useful when searching for ripe fruit.

Yes they do. In fact they look alot like rodents with wings.
They use their built in sonar to hunt insects, rather than trying to do it by sight.

Yes, but they use echo location far more than sight to hunt for insects.
