Yes and no: No, on WSL, it's the wsl command executed in the MS Windows PowerShell, that will give you the Linux command prompt.

Yes, from there on, the commands to be executed within the shell are identical.

Yes, whatever shell your WSL is using. Usually, it should be the Ubuntu default Bash, but if you happen to have chosen a distro that uses Fish or installed it yourself, it's Fish.
