You can use a utility such as exiftool (my recommendation), or simply the windows features for deleting metadata (under properties when right-clicking any file).

I don't know the answer to that but it isn't like it s bank account information.  I have never worried about it and it could come in handy if you needed to show the image was one you shot vs. removing the info.

I have never seen the serial number of the camera or any of my lenses. Is this a feature of only some cameras?

I have a D5600 and a few DX lenses with a serial number on each one of the lens.
