Yes, President's and First Lady's get secret service for life. Lady Bird Johnson had one until she recently died.

They really do. And it's not just to protect them. Ex-Presidents carry a lot of classified information in their heads that could be disastrous to US interests if some one were to kidnap them and interrogate them under tuith drugs. Not to mention the embarrassment of letting something happen to a former President. They do make a lot of enemies and there are always people looking for a quick 15 minutes of fame.
Nixon offered to pay for his own security after he left office, but was overruled.

Yes. Secret service protects ex-vices, ex-presidents, their spouses and children of ex-presidents until they are 16. The list is actually longer, but you get the idea.

Bill Clinton will be the last to receive protection for life. George W. Bush and the presidents after him will only receive protection for 10 years after leaving office.

Yes. Aside from attackers, the thought is that presidents know "state secrets" and would make good kidnapping targets. There is probably some validity to that.

Yes. So do First Ladies, Vice Presidents, and their spouses, but not other family members.

Yes they do, They still need protection as there is always someone that did not like them enough to do harm to them.
