1) Yes - when you attempt to go to an invalid domain what you actually typed is being sent to Nominum's search engine.
2) No - if a site's address is valid it will be dealt with purely by VM's own systems.
3) No - see 2)
The potential is there for it to happen, but not under the current system. VM would have to turn all of their DNS over to Nominum.
