Swedish is FSI Category I — about 600 hours for proficiency. It shares many roots with English (man/man, hus/house, fisk/fish) and word order is largely SVO. The trickier parts are noun gender (common 'en' vs neuter 'ett'), definite articles attached as suffixes (hund 'a dog' → hunden 'the dog'), and Sweden's two pitch accents that distinguish words like anden 'the duck' from anden 'the spirit'.
Largely yes — written Swedish, Norwegian and Danish are very close, and educated speakers can usually read all three with some effort. Spoken comprehension is highest between Swedish and Norwegian. Swedish vocabulary differs more from Danish on common nouns (Swedish flicka 'girl' vs Danish pige), and Danish pronunciation reduces sounds in ways that make it the hardest for the other two to follow.
