The Samaritans according to second kings were a mixture of races sent to live in the Northern kingdom of Israel by order of the King of Assyria. Job is thought to be a contemporary of Abraham--that would place his existence well before the creation of the Samaritans.

The bible refers to god contained in the masculine plural style as "Elohim" because of fact God is a triune being. 3 persons in a single godhead. The singular form of the call of God is Eloah, or El. El refers to capacity or capability. Eloah refers to a minimum of one being. the twin form of the call of God is Elohiam. This specifies 2 persons. that is not used for under 2 nor for 3 or greater. it quite is constrained to purely 2. The plural form of the call of God is Elohim. It specifies 3 or greater persons. as a consequence we are in a position to be certain a reference contained in the previous testomony for the triune nature of the God of the trinity. that is not actual that this initially meant merely the god of the canaanites.

No.
Job was not Jewish; he was one of Pharoah's advisers before the nation of Israel left Egypt.
The Pharoah asked for advice concerning the jews in Egypt. Jethro said to treat them well. Bilaam said to destroy them, anf Job abstained.
Some opinions say that because Job showed lack of compassion towards the Jewish nation's suffering in Egypt, he ended up suffering as well.
