1: As said, yes. Some doctors -- especially ones who are not experienced with insertion of IUDs -- think that your uterus will not be big enough if you haven't had a pregnancy to stretch it out. (Statistically, "parous" (have-been-pregnant) uteruses are more likely to be big enough. But plenty of nulliparous (no-pregnancies) uteruses are big enough as well.) It is possible that your uterus will be too small to have an additional IUD resident, but they can't really tell without "sounding" it with a special rod, generally just prior to insertion.
2: Start with your doctor, I'd say. IUDs have a low risk of complications if you have no vaginal infections (e.g., BV) during insertion, and if the doctor has a decent idea of what he/she is doing. If you get no joy from your doctor, consider finding another one -- but PP would be a good place to try while you're looking.
3: Like any hormonal birth control, this is great, okay, or lousy depending on your personal biochemistry and how it interacts with the synthetic hormones. (Same for Mirena, actually.)
4: Has your betrothed considered a vasectomy? Those are often much easier for penis-owners to get than permanent sterilization methods are for uterus-owners.
