A:AnswerI use Acronis, it’s a little technical but it does work. You can buy it on their website but stay away from the more expensive enterprise version it’s actually designed for large companies and you won’t use those features. Hypothetically you could clone one drive and do thousands exactly the same it’s that good.
A:AnswerIt's a 2280 card (80mm length), so it probably wont fit.
² "Samsung provides the most popular form factor, which is 22mm x 80mm (i.e., 2280), for the convenience of customers."

A:AnswerNot all motherboards have the m.2 port.
As far as which MB, that is highly subjective and what is "best" depends on many factors like budget, gaming setup or office use, desire for very compact setup, brand of CPU etc...
A:AnswerIt would, however you wouldn’t see the speed benefits and it possibly won’t be recognized by the bios as a boot drive. It would be reduced to the speed of an ordinary sata ssd that you can get a lot cheaper
