Be weary. Ask in advance, sometimes the hold can last 10 biz days after you depart.
They will put a hold on your credit card for a few days after checkout but you should be able to pay with cash upon arrival unless you booked a prepaid offer.
Depends on the offer, some rooms are cheaper if you prepay. A regular rate room can be reserved with a credit card and paid for when you arrive.
