1. No.
2. Not that I have heard of. (But Christians around the world believe in angels.)
3. NO NO NO.
Sikhi does not believe in superstitious things like curses and glass breaking. Guru Nanak would get angry at so-called pandits and fakirs who claimed to see a person's life or would tell someone that they faced years of bad luck because they looked at someone funny. (These are not real examples.) Guru Nanak said that such thinking interferes with one's true understanding of time and space and God. Sikhi teaches that through devoted meditation on the Name of God one's affairs are all arranged, no matter if the glass breaks or someone curses or slanders you. Read the Siri Guru and you will see this for yourself!
