You can get these on Amazon. Just find the correct one for your breaker box. It makes it impossible to have the generator input on while the main is still on.
1000%. I consider myself pretty level headed, but that's a very important part to make sure you don't have a brain fart and electrocute a lineman trying to get you back up and running.

It will not prevent it...it only means that the phase conductors are open...the neutral is a current carrying conductor and will take the unbalanced load to ground along the path of least resistance, ideally, but not always...that path may be back to the utility company's transformer where the lineman, having ensured that the circuit is no energized (no voltage present) will find the current from the unbalanced load indeed present and could be killed. It is not legal in most areas. It is done regularly...been a heap of them installed...but they can expose you to liability.
