Eclipse does not provide support for Subversion (yet)

There are two plugins (that I am aware of) for eclipse that do -
subclipse and subversive

Most of your questions should probably be asked on the appropriate
client mailing list.

I'll answer 3, however. No, this shouldn't happen. But, people can
"steal" locks from each other. But the person who's lock was stolen
would no longer have a valid lock after it was taken, and shouldn't be
able to check their changes back in (at least not without forcing an
override)
