C7 fracture: Most likely, but increased risk arthritis. Also better prognosis if there are no nerve deficits.

Yes: This is usually a stable fracture. You should have x-rays every 3-6 weeks until it heals. I would also recommend a ct scan after 3-4 months.

Probably: Nondisplaced facet/pars fractures usually can be successfully treated in a rigid brace like a miami j collar. Only someone who has examined you and looked at your imaging can definitively answer this.
