Yes, they are considered to be cash equivalents.

Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purpose.

No. Cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments (marketable securities) are different.

 

Cash and cash equivalents includes marketable securities that can be disposed of in3 months or less, whereas short-term marketable securities mature within one-year. The distinguishing factor is the short-term existence of cash equivalents. they have insignificant risk of change in value.

YES 

CCE is an item on the balance sheet that reports the value of a company's assets that are cash or can be converted into cash immediately. 

Examples of cash and cash equivalents (CCE) are bank accounts, marketable securities and Treasury bills.
