Answer 1

See SoloLearn's Python course > Object oriented programming > Class, lesson 2:
'All methods must have self as their first it isn't explicitly passed, Python adds the self argument to the list for you; you do not need to include it when you call the methods. Within a method definition, self refers to the instance calling the method.'

Answer 2

Tashi N explained it very well. self is like 'this' in other programming languages.

Answer 3

Because self is the class itself, any class should access to itself
