Depends on the bacteria. Most bacteria and viruses that affect humans are killed by heat. An example is why you have a fever. It's your body trying to kill off the infection. That's why if you have a low grade fever you're not supposed to take fever reducers.

Yes, but sometimes it will take more heat to kill certain kinds of bacteria. Some bacteria will die if you just boil them in water, but some bacteria can live just fine in incredibly hot water! Many bacteria can form structures called "endospores." These endospores can protect them very well in bad conditions, both hot and cold.

it depends on the type of bacteria you are encountering with and the temperature you are providing and the time of heat .
for thermophillic bacteria you need to go beyond 120 degree cent
and a rapid cooling is also necessary to prevent the growth of their spores

Yes 60*C - 70*C is enough to kill vegetative bacteria
above 100*C for 30 minutes or 121*c for 15 min (spores)
but this timings may change for some bacteria.
