Perfectly normal. It is a relatively formal but often heard.

Yes. it's perfectly normal to say. Sometimes we borrow the French expression, "au contraire", so don't be surprised if you see it in an English text.

If someone used the expression "on the contrary," I would think they were being a bit stuffy and pretentious. Like in an academic discussion. It doesn't sound natural in everyday conversation.
