Unless it's for educational purposes or if it qualifies under the fair use doctrine then you are not allowed to. However, internet users have a legal shield that until the copyright holder does not notify the infringer of a potential violation they are not obligated to remove the infringed material from their website. Before you do anything, consult with a copyright lawyer.

Yes. You need to contact the source for permission.

Yes, if you are using the image for profit or to promote an item or event that is for profit.
