Go by the service schedule in the owner's manual first, and use the severe service column if you tow, sit in traffic, or drive in heat. If the car has a dipstick, pull it and look. Dark brown fluid or a burnt smell means overdue, whatever the mileage says.
On an older car with a dipstick and a drain plug, yes. On most newer ones, no. They fill through a level plug with the fluid at a specified temperature, which needs a scan tool to read, and getting the level wrong in either direction causes real damage.
Probably not, and any shop that promises it will is overselling a service. Fresh fluid helps a shudder that comes from tired, overheated fluid. It does not rebuild a worn clutch pack or replace a failing solenoid. If the car slips or jolts, get it diagnosed before you buy maintenance.
