In the Spiritual But Not Religious world, some people talk about God as “Mystery” or “Other”.
Some talk about God as “Spirit”, “Energy” or “Life”.
Some talk about God as “Divine Individual”.
I think all of these are true.
And if you hold them all together, that’s the Trinity.

Depends on the tradition. But frequently, yes.
“God the Father” is a kind of absolute transcendence.
“God the Spirit” is manifestation of divine action in the world, our selves, our communities.
“God the Son” is God-as-Human, that all humans are to embody.

That makes sense and maps pretty well to Hindu theology interestingly enough
