Common for a lot of providers; they create a "master image" and
just allow that to be written to a newly provisioned server.

Different companies provide different options; if this is important
to you then you should look at alternatives.

Some do, some don't. As for technical reasons there is often no
reason against it, but if a hosting company provides "standard" images
that means fewer people can mess-up installing a system via KVM,
and an ISO. It lowers support-costs.
> Are cloud servers more difficult to handle than virtual servers?
Cloud servers and virtual servers are different names for the same thing.
How easy/hard they are depends on your skills and the facilities that the
hosting company offers. (i.e. Do they let you login via VNC / similar
if you screwep your kernel, or firewall all traffic out.)
