Check the company handbook or employment paperwork you signed when you were hired. It may refer you to lost or broken equipment for which you may be responsible to replace or pay for.

Legally, yes. There is no law on this. It is up to the company and it is probably in their employee handbook.

Yes. Your employer cannot simply take money out of your paycheck unless you agree to allow that to happen, but you can be held responsible for destroying an employer's property unless you have a contract that provides otherwise or some other defense to being held accountable.

Not if it takes you below the minimum wage.
