Yes, almost all primates have opposable thumbs used for grasping things, especially tree branches, and picking up things. Humans, apes, and most monkeys have this type of thumb.
Humans have more flexibility for manipulating small objects and they can move their thumbs across their hands much better and farther than any other primate giving humans the most dexterity of all primates.
Yes, they do, and so do orangutans and gorillas.
Second answer

They can open jars and raid houses, like they commonly do all across Asia, because they can turn doorknobs and flip latches. Rascal monkeys:D
No, although most do. Some examples of primates without true opposable thumbs are members of the Cebidae family, such as marmosets, tamarins and capuchins.
