Beginner's Questions about Trezor/Cold Wallets

Good day Everyone,

I have never used Trezor or any cold wallets before even though I know it's the safest means to store Bitcoin. So, I essentially know very little about the hardware's functionality.

My questions:

1. If I store Bitcoin in Trezor and eventually I lost the device, can I retrieve the Bitcoion to any other wallets, including online wallets like Mycelium, using the master seeds.

2. Can I access my Bitcoin from elsewhere using my master seeds?

Example, I'm in Capetown and my Trezor wallet is in Miami, USA. How do I access the Bitcoin without the Trezor physical wallet if I needed money urgently?

3. Since it's more like a flash drive, I guess, what happens if it got corrupted by viruses? Or any malware?

I hope the questions makes some sense?

Thanks
