Visual Studio 2017

Hi,

I'm completely new to Visual Studio and it's development environment. In this circumstance I wish to know a few things about it and get clarity to kick start my development ideas with this powerful tool.

Can we develop native Android and iOS apps using Visual Studio? Does it need any extension software?

My data plan is limited. What is approximate download size of "Visual Studio Community 2017"?

Which language is most preferable to use? Single language for all is good to use.

Can I use Visual studio to code IoT devices like Raspberry Pi?

Thank you...
