Cheese has salt for a couple of reasons. In many cases, it would taste funny without it. Salt is also a natural preservative, and is used as such particularly in cultures with warmer climates. Salt can also be used to inhibit, or in some cases to kill, the bacteria whose biological processes actually create the cheese, once a certain stage in the cheesemaking process has been reached.

Well, honey, 100 grams of feta cheese is roughly equivalent to about 0.42 cups. So, if you're eyeballing it in the kitchen, just know you'll need a little less than half a cup to match that weight. Hope that helps, sugar!
It depends on the recipe, but probably not. Goat cheese is more delicate flavored and not as salty. It has a different texture, too. Feta is chunky, whereas goat cheese is more crumbly. If all you're doing is crumbling it into a salad, it's probably OK (but remember that feta is much sharper tasting). But if cooking is involved, I don't think it would work well.
