Answer 1

If you are looking for savings bonds go to your bank.

If you have at least a few thousand dollars and want to choose from among many different types of bonds then open an account with any discount brokerage - like Fidelity or TD Ameritrade.

A discount brokerage account will give you access to all types of treasury bonds and also a wide variety of corporate notes (bonds) that are available in one thousand dollar increments with no sales fee.  A bond fund that a bank will try and sell to you will probably have a 6% upfront sales fee.

Answer 2

Certificate of Deposits - Yes

Bonds - No

Some Financial Brokers offer them.

Answer 3

Yes you can get Bonds from your bank .
