No, a pronoun can be a subject, of course, but so can a verb (infinitive or gerund) or even a clause.
“He” is my friend.
“To err” is human.
“Doing exercise” is not something I enjoy.
“That the sentence is more complicated than you thought” must be clear by now.
Subjects are in quotes.

Yes (essentially). It is always a noun or pronoun.

In addition to the above, you can have a gerund: “Sleeping” is one of his favorite activities.” or “Jumping out of airplanes” has never appealed to me.
