Hmm, these are hard, but I'll try my best.

1. So we believe that people don't come into the world sinful because of their ancestor's actions. We're capable of doing both good and bad, but sin (weird fact that may or may not be useful to you: we have over 15 ways of saying 'sin'. It's a complex idea) is a result of our tendency to feel 'human' which we're supposed to be in control of.

2. [Hm. I had to ask my parents about this one XD] Basically, one who is righteous is straight (not sexually; straight as in a good path) and does not depart from God. A righteous person is not someone who lives a religious life (which many assume), but he is one who follows the correct path in life, whatever that may lead. When you say source, I assume you don't mean the Tanakh (think  full Jewish bible lol), so the literal 'source of law' comes from The Talmud. However, the law of God can be found in the Torah. It all depends on what you're looking for. Confusing, I know.

3. Short answer: no.
