Yes, since змея is a feminine noun, "this snake" would be эта змея. In this sentence, это is a demonstrative pronoun not a demonstrative adjective.

I think this is because the stress is on the last syllable - the "я". Unstressed "е" sounds like "и".

Нет, that's his name. He's been running around in the woods putting soviet soldiers to sleep with a tranquilizer, rumors says he hides inside a cardboard box... Anyways, just keep your eyes open, comrade.
