Many questions. To answer your questions:

Yes
Not that I know of
No?
No!

apt-get is something debian specific. Distributions which initially
forked/have been based on debian or their package management used
apt-get. It might as well be that some distributions, for
compatibility, offer apt-get functionality. Lunar is not based on
Debian. 

Also: I think Lunar is the wrong distribution for you. Don't get me
wrong: You're looking for apt-get functionality, which means you want a
system which installs precompiled-binaries and which takes all the
various decissions for you because you don't have time nor the
knowledge to answer those.

See: Lunar is different. It won't assume what you want, it will ask
you. You can pick the default answer if you're unsure, though. Lunar is
also not just unpacking some pre-compiled binaries on your computer -
Lunar is compiling them on your computer. Which is why Lunar has never
been and will never be a distribution for beginners (yes, installing
and working 10 years with ubuntu does not make you a professional).
