Apr 14, 2012 at 4:34	comment	added	Misha		Assuming Ian's reading of your question, take hyperbolic n-manifold $M$ containing a closed totally-geodesic subsurface $S$. Then most closed geodesics in $S$ are not simple but are are homotopic to simple loops in $M$ provided $n>2$. For part 3 answer is also negative for $n>2$. You should proofread your posts.
