The holders of the Three aren't quite as fully influenced since Sauron didn't help make the Three, but the One Ring still has something of an effect on them, which is why the holders only put their rings on after the One Ring was separated from Sauron.

It's also why Gandalf and Galadriel seemed especially terrified by even the possibility of taking it: They're currently the keepers of two of the Elven Rings. (Elrond is the other and he seemed more sanguine about it). Even though Sauron did not make the Three, some of their power was still tied to the One, which is why the Elven realms - which had been partly maintained by Ring power - are fated to fade after the One was destroyed.

Yup. A good analogy is that while the Nine and the Seven were partially made by Sauron while the Three weren't, the Three were still made using the template Sauron gave the elves.

With the fading of the elven realms, that was meant to happen and would have happened earlier without the rings. Sauron actually convinced the elves (Celebrimbor and the other elves in Eregion) to help him with the rings because they were afraid of the fading and wanted to avoid it. So from the point of view of the elves, the purpose of the rings was to keep the elves from fading. It is just that it was Sauron who helped them, and he had major ulterior motives and plans of his own.
