Well, you'll be happy to hear that a lot of the "facts" presented are just plain wrong. The counter to that movie covers a lot of things that are skewed, or just straight incorrect.

I haven't seen it, but from what I hear a lot of the footage from the "documentary" is fabricated, which, to me, completely discredits the movie.
I suppose it's quite possible. The whole concept of Bowling for Columbine really interested me, though. It wasn't the "Make K-mart and Charleston Heston" part that was good. It was the presentation of just how many people die from gun violence in America every year, whereas many other countries have much, much smaller death rates in that area. I can't say I remember the movie perfectly, but I don't think Moore ever presented a reason for why we have more gun deaths than other countries. It's really worth thinking about.
