A:AnswerYou SHOULD be able to use this with one of Apple's Lightning/USB adapters (MD821AM/A, MK0W2AM/A, or MD820AM/A) or possibly your iThingie's included cable and a USB-A to microUSB adapter. Blue does make a couple mics specifically for iOS devices, so their tech support should be able to answer this with more authority.
A:AnswerYes, this item comes with the cord and stand as shown. You will need to get/use a plug in set of ear buds or headset to hear yourself record with it. It works well for recording voice overs for PPT presentations and video. You can use any available recording program, such as Audacity, to record or record right in PPT.
A:AnswerYou should be able to hear the playback of your headphones are plugged into the mic. If not, you will need to unplug the mic in order to hear the playback.
