Between 200 and 400 billion stars. 200 billion is the commonly accepted figure but other studies have suggested the larger estimate. Recently scientists have discovered that the galactic halo may be much larger than originally thought, too, which may increase the number upwards again.

More than you can count in your lifetime. Only a few of them are within 10 LY of us though.

Somewhere between 1 and infinite I'd say.
