I'm just curious.

Answer 1

not really no. exclamation points weren't popular too much until the modern era of literature.

Answer 2

Yes, the Exclamation point/mark originated in 15th century England.

Answer 3

Yes.  Exclamation points date back at least to the Jacobean era (early 17th century) and can be found in both of the most famous works of that time, the King James Bible and the Shakespeare First Folio, although they were used more rarely then than they are now.
