You will not get infected if you are on Linux. However, if you have a webserver that allows iframes then someone may be abe to use yur webserver to spread this, especially iif you do free web hosting.

Possibly, the only way to tell is what you have on your website. Most likely this is a XSS hole exploit, or just a standard injection.

Secure your code, always double, triple check all points of entry. Every single area where someone can dynamically change your website (IE forums, shoutboxes,etc) is a potential entry point for an exploit, or as the media likes to call it a "hack".

Backends for popular portals have well known exploits, some get fixed quickly, some never get fixed.
