The heaven is perhaps the place where people searching for plesure, but the Nivana, in Buddha's concept is the realm that "no born, no die". It is just only the soul that live no sufferings. Buddha said," the life exists because the past action was mixing with good and bad". So, "no born, no die" means you had done only good deed in the past life. Then you have only the soul in the Nivana. So, do you want to have only the soul?

I will leave the 1st and the 2nd ones to Ka and Andy.
