Yes, all trapezoids must have one pair of congruent sides.
All trapezoids have four sides, and all of them have one set of parallel lines
Yes.
No, trapezoids are not rectangles. While both shapes have four sides, rectangles have opposite sides that are equal in length and all interior angles are right angles, whereas trapezoids have only one pair of opposite sides that are parallel.
The main difference between squares and trapezoids is that, while the length all four sides of a square are equal, trapezoids have two sides with equal length and two sides of different length. Also, the opposite pairs of sides in a square are parallel, while only one pair of sides in a trapezoid is parallel.
