Okay - I'll skip to the last one, since the answer to it makes the others

Yes. Objective-C is a superset of C, so C functions can be called directly
from Objective-C.

Assuming the C function to which you're passing it was declared as taking a
char*, i.e. a C string, then yes, you'll have to convert it. NSString's
-cStringUsingEncoding: will do that for you.
