Fractals, and in particular the Mandelbrot, set are mathematical functions, not natural phenomena. But nature does seem to have a fractal structure, so, yes, they occur everywhere.

Coast lines have a quasi-fractal nature. Fractals are quite regular, they are constructs.

Of course not. Mathematics is confined only to the surface of the earth.
