Check your pulleys that run off the serpentine belt. When the engine is cool, remove the serpentine belt and spin all the pulley by hand to see which one is making the noise and replace.

#1 Is the serpentine belt the same as the Timing Belt? #3 will the motor need to be lifted out for this repair if it is the timing?

No the serpentine belt is external to the engine and drives the pulleys, the timing belt is under the timing belt cover. Some vehicles, you can change the belt without removing the engine, not sure on yours.
