Answer

Lad does refer to young men and boys but  certain british dialects use lad for any male of any age also young women who behave  like young men are sometimes LADETTES

Answer

It is not a common word in North American English. In the UK, it is used to refer to boys, and sometimes to young men.

Answer

Pretty much. The female equivalent is "lass."

"Ah, spring was sent for lass and lad,
 'Tis now the blood runs gold,
 And man and maid had best be glad
 Before the world is old."--A. E. Housman

The poet uses "lass and lad" meaning "young woman and young man" in the first line, and then "man and maid" (man and young woman) in the third.

Answer

Yes, “lad” is used almost exclusively to refer to males.
