Yes. Historically from German, French, Turkish and Finno-Ugric languages, nowadays mostly English.

Yes
Our language is almost exclusively loan words.

Many from German, French, Latin, Swedish, English.
And can probably copy some of what >>78657169 wrote too even though I don't know about it.

But possibly the biggest source is Danish. Because our written language is based on Danish, and only a few words were replaced with the Norwegian equivalent, every word where there's a difference between traditional Norwegian and Danish, where the Danish hasn't been replaced with Norwegian may be considered loan words.
This includes words like "vann" (water) in compound words, bunn (bottom), hull (hole), selv (self), melk (milk), dem (them), ovn (oven) and many more, and also grammatical forms and actually unique words.

Yes, from Latin and Italian mostly
