floaters are condensations in the vitreous (the jelly behind the lens in the eye). They are quite normal and will increase as you grow older.

Yes, it's normal. But if you start seeing other things, like blind spots or bright lights, go see an optometrist.

But those little squiggles are normal. Everybody has them.
