Yes, but it's much easier to choose/change VPN than ISP, because because VPN providers usually are not geographically bound as opposed to ISP where it's not uncommon to be stuck with single ISP available. Furthermore, if you have a reputable ISP and your traffic is not being filtered/snooped, there aren't many reasons to use VPN service at all.

Yes, but these are points that are very seldom brought up at all in these contexts yet they are quite important.
