No. Officially only sim-free phones can be unlocked(e.g. if you buy it sim-free or if it's on contract with some providers) but there are ways round it. Don't know myself, mines was sim-free, but there's a few threads...

Depends how you sim unlock...
If you unlock by IMEI then no!
If you unlock with setool remotely then yes. (and will also enable fastboot)
Other programs like octupus sim unlock but do not unlock the bootloader so make sure you know what you are getting before you part with money
