I wish I was agnostic because then we could have made a good argument.   Go to a service and see how you like his sermons, and if he is the kind of person who wants to talk to, and then try to find him after the service.

Easy as pie.   If I may suggest finding a priest who teaches theology at a local university. You will be much more likely to get a decent answer that way. In my experience, some priests are great to be pastors, but not so large in the educational aspect. You call the church or in the office where he and the priest make an appointment. Easy as pie.

Just say they're interested in learning more about the church and would like some questions answered as part of their investigation. One need not be confrontational about if you have a genuine interest.   Father may refer you to another staff member who is versed in apologetics. My pastor does. Usually he sits with me and the person, and enjoys the interaction. Not that I can not, but it is part of my job as coordinator of religious education.   You can attend the Mass as not Cahtolic, but can not receive Communion.
