Actually this information is given to OS by the BIOS, but you will need an application to expose the information. You can find a lot of applications to do this:
ANSWER 2
Score 86
Windows doesn't expose this information out of the box - you need to install any of a myriad of tools to find it. (For something lightweight, I like Open Hardware Monitor.)
ANSWER 3
Score 49
There is no built-in Windows utility to do this, so you need to use another tool.
My personal favorite is SpeedFan. SpeedFan can monitor CPU temperatures, GPU temperatures, S.M.A.R.T. data, hard disk drive temperatures, and more; and if you want to you can also adjust fan speeds with it too.
ANSWER 4

You might want to take a look at HWMonitor, which shows a wide variety of system sensors.
In addition to temperature, it also shows system voltages, fan speeds, and power consumption - not only for your CPU, but all the hardware connected to your computer that has sensors (including your graphics cards and hard drives).
For a more "advanced" tool (showing much more information), you may want to use HWiNFO.
