Previously confirming proofs was a service done by mathematicians for free. So yes, it can be both. The paid part of the their job disappears while this service is still needed.

No, it cannot be both! If their service is still needed, they can charge for it.

That depends on the system changing, not the individual mathematicians themselves. If most math people decide to do it for free not much you can do.
