Yep- the tuning of the strings and finger spacings are identical. I myself am a violin player, but bought a mandolin and was able to transfer all of my fave violin songs straight over. Some differences are there though- the mandolin has 8 strings (in pairs tuned identically, so you have 2 G strings right next to each other to increase sound), mandolins have frets (yay for perfect tuning) and to be able to class yourself as a mandolin player you need to learn chords too

What did troubadours use to accompany their singing?
Usually lutes, mandolins or guitars, although some sang unaccompanied and interspursed their songs with music on wind instruments or violins.

The first violins look basically the same as violins do today, before that, they weren't violins.
Does the mellowphone use the same fingerings as a f horn?
Depends how you finger the f horn. Horn can use any fingerings that mellophone can, but not the other way around. This is because the overtone series of the horn is an octave below that of the mellophone. ~ Adding onto that, mellowphones use the same fingerings as trumpets. Generally, the fingerings are the same as the F horn fingerings an octave lower, but not always.
You play the flute is the B flat scale on the flute the same fingerings on the piccolo?
