It is quite similar to an oriental cockroach but the antennae are just shorter. Anyway it is most probably a cockroach - I think I have seen one similar to it before which I thought was an "aged cockroach".

As John R said, it is a ground beetle, in the Family Carabidae.
Here's a page with lots of other pictures of Carabids to compare to http://bugguide.net/index.php?q=search&keys=carabidae

No. It's one of the many kinds of Ground Beetle. Very common under rocks outdoors, sometimes turn up in basements. Very active predators, and it wouldn't surprise me to find out that they eat baby cockroaches.

No, it is not a cockroach. It is a beetle of some sort. Looks like a potato beetle.
