That was hotly debated, as was the connection to Japanese and Korean. Where things stand now, I couldn’t say.

It’s very likely, but probably from a more remote origin, when the progenitors of both lived in Northern Central Asia, before the European branch migrated West and the East Asian branch migrated East.

Not really. Totally different language family.
