Usually you do, from the curb stop into the building, while the utility owns the main and the connection at the street. That split is why a leak in the yard is normally the homeowner's bill and a leak under the pavement is normally not. If you are unsure where the curb stop sits, the water department can tell you.

It can be. Gray polybutylene was installed in a lot of houses and additions built in the 1980s and early 1990s, and the fittings tend to be the failure point rather than the pipe itself. A plumber can identify it and talk through what replacing it involves.

It is a different material with different strengths. PEX flexes, which means it handles hammering and a hard freeze better than rigid pipe, while copper is more resistant to physical damage and to sunlight. Most plumbers here will fit whichever suits the run.

Not without a dielectric fitting between them. Where the two metals touch directly, corrosion concentrates right at that joint and the connection fails long before either pipe does. Older houses often have exactly this joint hidden behind a wall or under a cabinet.
