It is my opinion that although Jesus was in fact , a real person, he was likely not the "Son of God", but rather a living Avatar( Avatar is a name for one who has reached ultimate enlightenment). The Buddah, and others would also fit this definition.
The bulk of the information contained within the Biblical story of this man is likely inaccurate, as would be any 2000 yr old story, interpreted hundreds of times by inumerable individuals. That said, all three questions become irrelevant unless we wish to discuss the "meaning" interpreted from the mythology contained in these writtings.
#1 Son of God: A Label given unto one who shows capabilities and understanding very far beyond the accepted norm. Human nature is to lift up that which we admire, or do not understand onto a pedistal. We also require payment of one kind or another, in exchange for relief of burden. Thus the destruction of that which we admire/love in exchange for the creators good graces.
#2 Human nature will also attempt to aleviate pain, if at all possible.
#3 When all else fails, and no happy ending is handy......write in an open ended closing.
*The above is of course, opinion. It bears no resemblance to Fact, as there can be no actual fact involved in a debate concerning something that is impossible to prove, at this time. Should such facts become availible, the author reserves the right to change the opinions expressed therein*
