All properly generated bitcoin addresses have a corresponding public key and a corresponding private key.

However, it is possible to generate a bitcoin address without knowing what the public key or private key is.  If you do that, then it will be impossible to determine public key or private key.

Yes, every BTC adress have a corresponding private key.
Be carrefull : if you make a withdraw to pay something for example, the return of the transaction will come back to an other couple BTC address/private key.
