Bitcoin Core may be said as the official wallet for bitcoin. But to use it one should download the the entire blockchain on their systems which requires quite a few Gb's of space so might not be feasible for all. Instead you can use other wallets like Electrum, Multibit, etc. that are light on storage and serve all the same features.

Bitcoin Core can be used as a desktop client for regular payments or as a server utility for merchants and other payment services.
Yes, you have to download all of it.
