Facebook links are nofollow.  However, it's a great way to promote content and get other people to link to you.  Basically Facebook doesn't give you link juice, but it helps you get it from other people.

doesn't pass PR, but Google picks up on the social signals and takes that into some consideration with their rankings so if you own a site you should at least set up a FB page for that site.

not sure what you mean with the second question and how it relates to FB

I think you need to look beyond Page Rank. Make sure you set you FB page to show info rather than timeline/news feed by default for non-fans.

Look to other stats such as visitors from your FB page and then use your FB wall well to influence your SEO in a natural way

While the links are nofollow, Google and Bing have both confirmed that links shared through twitter and facebook do have a direct impact on rankings. this was posted randfish of seomoz back in 2010 and i dont believe this has changed http://www.seomoz.org/blog/google-bing-confirm-twitter-facebook-influence-seo. heres another more recent post by the same author on the subject http://www.seomoz.org/blog/facebook-twitters-influence-google-search-rankings

Facebook pages are "no-follow" meaning no juice is passed directly to the site.  However, the different signals and navigation of the viewers has an indirect organic affect.  If your traffic is increased with a "no-follow" then it is affecting your "organic results" indirectly.  However, the page rank "juice" isn't transferred via page rank, but rather by sending traffic.
