Yes .NET is the platform of choice for server-side customization of Microsoft Dynamics CRM. Start here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg327971.aspx. There's a lot of reading but you could be writing your first plugin in a few days.

I'm intentionally vague here because you should really take the time to read the materials out there to learn the right way. It will help you out a lot more then me giving you a paragraph summary.

Yes and no. Dynamics CRM consists of a bunch of different customizational entries and some of them are .NET based (plugins, custom workflows, WCFs, external webs) while some are not (default workflows, JavaScript, XML customizations, FetchXML).

In my experience, at least based on the reality where I'm stationed, there's an abundance of people who can configure CRM but there's an embarrassing scarcity of skilled developer who can code .NET (and JS) to program the thing.

MS does what it can to make it possible to configure everything without coding but in the end, some things can't be resolved other than by good old hacking. Plugins is the golden goose, I'd say. If you learn how to write and install them, you're set. It's a bit of a threshold, that's true. But then again - if it'd be easy, everybody would be able to steal your job.
