Question 3
Do basic solutions also have ${\text{H}}^{+}$ (aq) ions? If yes, then why are they basic?

Answer 1

Yes, basic solutions also have ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions. However, the concentration of ${\text{H}}^{+}$ ions is less than the concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions present. The higher concentration of ${\text{OH}}^{-}$ ions in the solution make it basic.
