That is called the ignition switch. You will get a new key when you buy a new one at the parts store. It is available in chrome and black.

No, it will come with two new keys. You will have to pull down the steering column a little to replace it. It is a 10 minute job if you know what you are doing. You will need a steering wheel puller, a lock plate compressor, two picks, a phillips screw driver and I believe it is a T15 torx driver.

It is not called the ignition switch. It is the ignition lock cylinder. the switch is mounted on top of the column under the dash
