Answer 1

Yes, you can use a global variables of the Visualforce. In your case the $User variable:

<apex:page >

   User Name: {!$User.FirstName} {!$User.FirstName}

</apex:page>

Note that you can access only a limited number of merge fields of the User. For example you can not get a user.SmallPhotoUrl.

Answer 2

You can do that and from your requirement you could use the global variable $User

Answer 3

Use global variable in your VF page.
