Yes. The answer is "no".

The compressor in Live may confuse by having a parameter named "EQ  
Side Chain". This is not side-chaining in the matter of  controlling  
one compressor parameter from a different audio stream, as we do with  
the classical audio ducking technique. It's just a function for  
giving more or less priority to certain frequency bands to be  
affected by the compressor (more similar to a multi band compressor  
if you like).

Live works exactly the same under any OS platform and CPU type.

No. Here's a link to Live's pricing:

Depending on what kind of effects you are looking for there might be  
some third-party plug-ins available, but probably not for free with a  
side-chain functionality.
