On #1, I don't know the context of the question. I believe you are probably correct. He certainly believed we were strong enough to stop the 'spread" of communism (or Soviet influence) in the world.
#2 and #3 are correct. Chambers was right in there with McCarthy, looking for communists everywhere, looking for traitors, and sure they were everywhere. Hiss was convicted and served a jail term, but insisted for the rest of his life that he was a loyal American. Some of his views were, undoubtedly, unpopular. It's possible he got in trouble and falsely accused only because he held unpopular views, but we'll never know for sure.
