Toxic - no. It depends on the plastic type, some plastics such as ABS may give off pottentially dangerous fumes when heated to a high temperature needed to melt them, so it is recommended when working with ABS (printing it or making filament) to be in a well ventilated area.

No and yes. If it has ink it will. If not it will only be C02+H2O .
