1. do some web porn. lots of actresses are starting there or started tghere
2. No. In most cases you wind up spending an entire career working as an extra...and BTW, it's an honest craft with its own professional demands. If you want acting jobs--the kind what you get to say lines--you get yourself noticed by participating in professional acting workshops, by acting in amateur or apprentice program productions, by earning a BFA from a top university program, and by auditioning your kiester off.
3. Doing extra work for a little while at the beginning of your acting career is a great way to see how things work on set. You get to observe how actors, directors and crew work. It's like taking a class and getting paid for it, very little pay, but you still get paid. AND the hours are long with a lot of standing around, waiting around and doing nothing. So if you do go for some extra work, try and make use of the time you are there and do something else for your acting career, like read some books or do some research. Good luck! Tony
