1 yes (company closure) 2 Not great short-term (got the first job I could), but turned out better in the long run (got a much better job few months after) 3 Not really: Was unemployed for under 1 month, and was honest about the interim job just being a means to an end while interviewing for better job. Getting laid off is a part of life, happens to the majority nowadays. It's what you do (or can bullshit you're doing) between jobs that will count.
