You can use Shopify Theme Kit to download your app to a local work station and perform live updates from your local station

No, you can't download "anything" from Shopify core like you would do with OpenCart. Shopify is a fully hosted SAAS solution.

Yes. Sign up as a partner. You can then create as many test shops as you wish. A test shop is fully enabled with all the possibilities of Shopify. You can test out front-end code. You can write and install Apps for backend manipulations. And you can run all your Apps on localhost, connecting to your shop. As well, your theme can be localhost too with a file watcher keeping you sync'd to your dev shop.
