1. No
2. Yes
3. Pretty soft, but so are high performance summer tires. Snow tires are grippier in the cold.
4. Yes, to varying degrees, but so do high performance summer tires.

Nokian WR's ( http://www.nokiantires.com/en/tire_wr_suv.aspx ) are good for snow (they earn the "snowflake symbol") and can be used year-round (unlike other snow tires), but unfortunately they're not available as run-flats.
