Question

Answer 1

Yes, But you would need to get a separate cable for your surface and your TV



Microsoft probably made an adapter to solve that issue.



Also Buy the New Surface That is coming out on Windows 8 as it supports more applications

Answer 2

A micro HDMI port has the exact same features as a standard HDMI port, but it's smaller. The drawback of this (the reason people don't just use mini HDMI) is that they are far more delicate, and they brake much faster. They also cost more to manufacture.

Answer 3

Yes, But you would need to get a separate cable for your surface and your TV
