There are plenty of tools to do that; Modeller is one of them.

This should be your first stop in starting your research.  If you don't know the 
sequence or other very fundamental information, stop what you're doing at the 
terminal and pull out the biology literature.

See above.

Depends on the quality of the reconstruction of missing atoms.  Most programs 
are pretty robust, but a very short energy minimization usually relaxes away any 
problems.
