ZFS was freely relicensed under the CDDL by Sun. Oracle can do nothing to take back any of the rights granted under the terms of the licence retrospectively. They haven't got any grounds whatsoever to curtail anyone's use or modification of the ZFS code.
It's been a thing for a decade[1] now. If you don't have a Google-sized team of lawyers handy it's a concern. Fingers crossed that Oracle loses in the end.
Yes, but it won't be an actual thing to worry about until there's a legal precedent set. Right now, without any conclusions from the trial, it's not a problem.
That's not even a thing (yet).
