Yes, borrowed from a dog food plant.

Yes. "During rehearsals, a false horse's head was used for the bedroom scene. For the actual shot, a real horse's head was used. The head was acquired from a dog-food factory." http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0068646/trivia

No of course not, it would not be allowed.

My uncle (John Marley) played Jack Woltz in the movie. Yes, it was a real horse's head, but no, they didn't kill it for the movie; they got it from a meat processing plant. He didn't know that they were going to use a real horse's head for the movie. Those screams -- they're for real. A bit of trivia -- he was originally tapped to BE the Godfather, before Marlon Brando asked for the role.
