Yes, that's why they are called "unified".

Most likely. There are some characters that only occur in
modern simplified Chinese, some that for the most part only occur in modern
traditional Chinese (such as used in Taiwan or Hong Kong), some that only
occur in Japanese.

You can't, so don't try to do it on a character-by-character basis. It
is useless. As a human looking at a string of text, you can tell what
language it is from the context. Of course for Japanese or Korean you
will expect to see Hiragana or Katakana (for Japanese) or Korean syllables.
But there is every possibility that a Korean text might contain embedded
Chinese quotations, or Japanese containing embedded Korean, or ... you
get the idea ...
