Yes. You can build your own (see the OpenSSL docs for creating a CSRT), .. the only
difference is that you will not have traceability to a root cert, and any users will
get the dialog boxe(s)'do you really trust this site'.

No. The encryption is the same [for the selected encryption technology] once the user
and server have agreed on the CERT.

Because companies like to make money. Prime example - RSA.

You can also check out EquiFax - they have a standard CERT for $45, last time I
checked.
