Answer 1 :
The satellite passes over Anchorage so the system should work. Are you going to remote areas? Then the system won't have any road information. Those rural areas aren't always entered into the maps , so you'll get a signal but you won't get any information.
Answer 2 :
I have 2 cars with NAV and they both say they don't work in Alaska and Hawaii. There might be data discs for those areas though so you should look in the owner's manual for the name and website used to update your nav data. This needs to be done once in a while to keep up with road changes and the like. Maybe they have a disc for the hinterlands.
Answer 3 :
XMT and Sirius do not work in Alaska. The few people that can get it do from home systems with pretty large antennas. Hope this helps
