Answer 2

Nubian Medjay entered Egypt during the turmoils of the First Intermediate Period, formed mercenary archer units and served in the armed constabulary. They are known to have fought under Kamose against the Hyksos.
From the Old Kingdom on foreigners were incorporated into the army. The Egyptians possibly even signed contracts with foreign potentates to insure the supply of mercenaries.

Answer 3

It may be better to ask who was not a mercenary when Egypt was a super-power in the Ancient Near East.

During the periods of strong dynastic power in Egypt, the Egyptians subjugated many peoples in the region. Outside of abject slavery, all men were allowed to sign as mercenaries or 'colonial militia' to the Pharaohs. However, many of these people were not given a choice, they were conscripted either by force or by treaty of fealty to appease the Egyptian war machine.

Real mercenaries were hard to find in the Ancient Near East, but, they usually would come from Free trade nations like Phoenicia in the north and Nubia in the south. But, as I said, very rare to have a true free mercenary during the Egyptian Dynastic periods.
