right click on the drive in my computer on the PC and select properties, if it shows the file system as FAT32 then it will work on a MAC or a PC. If it says it is NTFS it can still work but it's not as straightforward.

Yes. You shouldn't have any problems with this assuming the files are standard music and photo formats. Also make sure you don't have any access restrictions set

Yes, you can. Or you may refer to this guide, it's regarding how to transfer files between windows and mac.
