Yes

No

No
> 4) I want to install the Golden Tee Fore series. What all do I need for these to run?
A reasonably recent refurbished system sporting an i5 should do it. A Dell Optiplex of some variety that can run GT Fore and NFL Blitz would run you only roughly a hundred bucks, not too much more than a high-end Pi.
Both Golden Tee Fore and NFL Blitz only hit full speed on PCs due to MAME having a CPU core used by those games (as well as a number of others) which translates the game's CPU instructions into either x86 or x64 assembly instructions. Such facilities aren't currently present in MAME for the ARM architecture, which is what the Raspberry Pi uses. There's no way in hell those games are going to run full-speed on a Pi no matter what you do. At current rates, you probably wouldn't even hit full speed on a hypotetical Raspberry Pi 8, either.
