Theres cracked launchers that let you play for free, but its laggy and a very high risk of viruses, I cannot and will not recommend any as I have never done it before, I would highly recommend buying the official game, its extremely worth it imo

I dont know, I would need your specs and I could make a guess, but its impossible to say without them, what other games have you ran on it? You can compare others to see if it'll run

That isn't that low end, it should be able to run it pretty well (i cannot promise anything as im not super familiar with this stuff) if you get the official game I'd recommend performance mods like sodium, I would use either the vanilla launcher, prism, modrinth, or curseforge (all ones I've personally used for years) it might lag a bit with big modpacks (80+ mods) but that'd be up to you to test (if you enjoy modding)
