The switch itself does not have a mac address.
If you use a router, it will have a mac address.

A simple switch has no reason to connect to the switch itself, so it does not have an IP address and I doubt if it would have a MAC address. It simply knows what is connected to it and passes network traffic transparently.
I have never used a managed switch, so I do not know if they have a MAC or separate serial (terminal) port for programming.

If it is a managed switch it will have a MAC address yes.

Dude? Where the hell did you go to high school? That school should be burned down, because either they did a really bad job teaching you English or you should bury yourself six feet deep.
By the way, switches don't have MAC addresses.
