I've never actually used it. Every time I've followed a link there, I get a popup telling me I have to register before seeing any content, which I've refused to do.

Just add ?share=1 to the URL to remove that (ideally the person posting would have.)
No.

Sites should try to get me to use them, I shouldn't have to try to use a site.

The information you'll get isn't worth typing the params into the URL bar. You can find SF sushi recommendations elsewhere.
That's been my experience. The few times I've seen a link because someone actually set it up correctly I was disappointed when I got to the actual content.
I wonder why they keep insisting on this obstacle. It possibly serves well as an audience selector. People who are too impatient to sign up should possibly be excluded from the user base that the founders of Quora have in mind.
A blank query string works just as well too. Just add "?" and skip the other 7 characters.
A shining example of user-friendliness, that.
