Final Fantasy XIV - How does co-op questing work?

I am currently playing the Free Trial (so no party/free company features) of FFXIV, and considering purchasing it. I only want to purchase the game if the questing mechanics are co-op friendly. I'm unable to get an unambiguous answer out of google for this.

Please advise:

Can the majority of the quests be done co-cooperatively in a party (3 players, if it matters)?
Is the Tank/DPS/Healer role requirement for Role Finding a hard requirement of ALL parties? (i.e, if three of us are playing, do we HAVE to each be one of those roles? [difficulty notwithstanding, does the game force that requirement?])
How does quest progression sharing work?
Do, e.g, quests that require you to kill X enemies count everyone's kills? Or count your own kills only?
How does drop sharing work in a party?
