No, periodic motion isn't always oscillatory. It may not involve back-and-forth movement about an equilibrium point. Some known examples include circular motion in satellites or planets.

No, only oscillations with a linear restoring force and sinusoidal motion are SHM. Non-linear oscillations, such as large pendulum swings, deviate from SHM.

Oscillations are larger, slower to-and-fro motions. Vibrations, on the other hand, are smaller, faster oscillations. Vibrations often occur in machines, strings, and structural components.
