Module development and code questions

question 1.
is the ideal way to create a 'user profile' to just populate a node after registration with the registrations additional fields and then give that node the author of the new user so they can only edit that node?

question 2.
views can be created programmatically correct?

question 3.
views can be executed and have arguments passed via php also?

im still new to drupal thanks for the help guys !

Does anyone know if there are any modules that will allow users to only view content that they have created? I would like something like this to build a site where multiple users create their content on one system, but they are only permissioned to view the content they created. This would mean that things like search and notification are restricted to searching/notifying only their own content as well. I imagine that a system like this would impact many modules, so isn't as straightforward as it may seem.
