Welcome to the forums. That's the way android works, empty RAM is wasted RAM. Nothing to worry about, all that memory usage improves your phone performance and makes multitasking much easier. Oh, and stay away for those so-called memory booster apps and let Android handle that on its own. This kind of apps are completely useless and will fill your phone with adware.

Not really. If your RAM is 100% used, it actually slows down your phone.

I'm not sure what you exactly mean. I've never noticed the RAM 100% used, maybe because it's a dynamic thing, and change as you use the phone. I've seen it almost 100% many times though, depending on what I'm doing. Again, this is absolutely normal and the limits will be the hardware and which apps you are using.

There are many articles explaining how RAM works on Android, this one of them. A bit old, but still pertinent.
