Yes, but they are not commonly found there, as it depends on the region. An example of a volcano that is found in a desert, however, would be the volcano Emi Koussi, found in the Sahara desert.

Yes, there are numerous areas in deserts that contain old lava flows, some of them quite recent. I know of lava flows in the Chihuahuan Desert and the Atacama Desert. I am sure there are others.

Yes, there are volcanoes in most desert areas of the world. Most are extinct, some are dormant and a few are active. I live in the Chihuahuan Desert and just a short drive from my home (30 minutes) there is an ancient volcanic field with hundreds of extinct volcanoes.
