Go to your doctor, don't take medical advice here.

Always the best idea, but not always possible or practical.
Assuming that you've taken Penicillin before and have no known allergy, you should be fine with it and it should help.

Yes, generally fever and green or yellow mucus would indicate a bacterial infection. If you don't have a bacterial infection, the PCN won't hurt you.
I'm not a Dr, but am a paramedic and taught pharmacology for 5 years at the college level.

You'll need amoxicillin, in the form of Augmentin. This antibiotic is the most effective for sinus and respiratory infections.
