No -- you can only find out the contact details of whoever has been assigned that IP block (i.e. their ISP details or their place of work if it's a big enough company).

No -- what ever computers yours talks to will always know your IP -- would you expect your post to arrive if you hid your house address?

you can in effect "hide" your IP though so unless you specifically connect to something you remain hidden
