To complete the accepted answer to my question (which addresses parts 2 and 3) perhaps I should mention here that the answer to part 1 is no: If $\delta$ is a supercompact cardinal and $\kappa$ is the least inaccessible cardinal above $\delta$ then $\square(\kappa)$ fails but $\kappa$ is not weakly compact.
