Not necessarily. Ranking depends mainly on the site's on-page SEO and link profile. Yeah ofcourse if its an exact match then it will help your users to remember your domain name.

It doesn't matter. It depends on the site's SEO.

I have seen this recently that a site with irrelevant domain name is ranking far better than a site having exact or a little bit derivative of the exact keyword domain name.
The reason is that the previous site has a tremendously good link profile. And a very good looking professionally operated on-page elements with a clear navigation.

Yes, Exact match domain is a website domain that is purchased to target specific keywords or a search query on Google. SEO practitioners have historically used this method as a way of gaming the system and effectively increasing their rankings on Google.
