Wireless printing will work if your PC is on the same network as the printer. So the printer connects via WIFI to your router and your PC connects via ethernet. That will work just fine.

Yes a USB Wifi adapter. You can find cheap ones such as this https://www.amazon.com/TP-Link-wireless-network-Adapter-SoftAP/dp/B008IFXQFU

And as stated above if you are hooked into your network via Ethernet as long as the printer is connected wireless to the network you can print.

That may or may not work. The printer may or may not support an adhoc (direct, device to device) network.
