I think you can buy solar powered pumps for ponds and such. They are usually pretty weak. You would need a lot of solar panels to power a larger pump.
No. It’s only a small part of everything that is needed.
Other parts you will need are batteries, voltage regulator, inverter.
20 watts is not much power. That would run a small DC fountain pump. For anything larger, you would have to match the power rating of the pump.
There is an entire forum devoted to solar water pumping here http://www.wind-sun.com/ForumVB/forumdisplay.php?f=10 . If you browse around, you may find what you’re looking for. The people there are pumping larger volumes, to water cattle, irrigate, or fill cisterns.
No
you need an inverter and more panels to cover the pumps power draw
