three part answer
1. Yes. it will evaporate just the same as any liquid.
2. when you breath the vapor after de-glazing the pan, depending on the type of alcohol your lungs will burn along with your eyes. ouch!
3. Yes. boiling/simmering takes longer, like rockzilla said "it's got a lower boiling point than water" so the alcohol is gone before your sauce, leaving just the flavor compounds...........when lit it burns off almost instantly, once the flame is gone so is the alcohol
