Yes to all those questions, lookup nicehash, I use it, it's a piece of cake.

I used Nicehash for a bit. It's very easy. I used a couple of old GTX 1080's I had.

It automatically does it all and provides a wallet and exchange but I transfer it out personally, just sign up.

For computers that do other things I like Kryptex better than nicehash. It just seems to be more stable and not get in the way as much - I forget it's running except for hearing computer fans doing their thing.
