Just FYI, these days even a format can fail. Some things manage to get into your actual bios, or infect your drive firmware.
Extremely rare, but still very much possible.
Possible, but nobody is wasting such a good exploit on average consumer PC's.
You’d be surprised, these have already been found in the wild. They aren’t 0-days or anything, so they aren’t exactly secret or worth much. No more than any other cluster of code anyway.
