Yes. In an environment where no light enters, an object sufficiently heated will glow. In the Sun's case, the early nebula was the object. The radiation vibrates in the visual spectrum. In fact, this unlocked the first real clue for Planck that h was a fundamental unit when he assumed the energy was limited to a set of discrete, integer multiples proportional to the frequency.

Yes. All objects glowing due to their own temperature emit radiation following Planck's blackbody radiation profile.

Yes it does, very well. All bodies emitting radiation do, and have to.
