3. Do you need a Python certification to find work?
In the United States, not really.

5. Should I learn Python 2, Python 3, or both?
You only need Python 3.
Do not worry about Python 2. It's already deprecated.
That being said, if you happen to find a good course that teaches Python 2, the transition to Python 3 won't be too hard.

Visual Studio Code is very popular, and it's free. That's the IDE I've been using professionally for several years.
