Not necessarily. If they're fulfilled by Amazon it means Amazon has the item in a warehouse so you don't have to worry about not getting the item.

Then wouldn't it be shipped and sold by Amazon?

No. Amazon offers fulfillment services for third parties at cost to the vendor so vendors can benefit from prime shipping and don't have to deal with shipping bullshit themselves. It's especially helpful for selling products internationally.

No. Just read the vendor reviews first to make sure you don't see a bunch of "I got scammed!" messages.
