    No. Mammals were alive and well at that time, although taking a minor role compared with the dinosaurs. The rock was one of those asteroids that the Earth regularly encounters from time to time.

    Doubtful!, there would have been plenty of heat from the atmosphere and the explosion. everything, possibly even bacteria in the vacinity would have been destroyed. Life on the other side of the earth might have a chance.
