Welcome to the real world I guess. Everything you learn in your degree and most of what you learn in high-school is superfluous... but you still need those bits of paper to get the jerb.

It's an internship. It's primary purpose is to boost your CV/Resume for the real jobs you want post-graduation.

Suck it up, do the job they want. If you have time, offer to help/learn other stuff.

This too. If you don't ask they won't bother so show an interest in whatever you want to do and they may humor/accommodate you.

No not everything.

I am a geology major, and the best advice I got during college was "Learn GIS (geographic information systems)" So I took a GIS class.

Got hired as a geologist and that became irrelevant to the company and now I am their GIS tech.
