Table tennis quetions

[nightvision]

Hi all,
Can someone please help me answer a few table tennis (ping pong) questions. I can't seems to find the answer i'm looking for on the net. We play mainly singles, so here are the questions.

a. When serving, is it correct that one can serve to any where on the opponent side (right,left,center)? Thus, the middle line down the table does not really matter.
b. Say the opponent hits the ball and it hits you (bodily) before bouncing on your side then he wins the point. Correct? I asked this because when my opponent is losing he is aiming and smacking the ball directly at me (i'm a big target). I think it's a cheap way to win a point, but that's how he plays.
c. In singles you serve 5 points and the opponent get the next 5 serves. Correct?

Thanks for clarification from those who plays.
