Yes and to Canada too
No, not if you mean Legal Permanent Residents.
U.S. lawful permanent residents may continue to use this Alien Registration Cards or other valid evidence of permanent residence status to return to the U.S.
No passport requirement for green card holders.
All acceptable documents for LPRs denote identity and citizenship, and are secure, fully adjudicated documents that can be verified and authenticated by Customs and Border Protection at ports of entry.

However, that applies only when you come back into the country, going to another country is different and you should contact their respective consulates or ambassies.
