1) Chemical reaction 

CH_3 COOH + NaOH \rightarrow CH_3COONa + H_2O \\\\ reactants : - CH_{3 }COOH \; \; \; and \;\;\; NaOH \\\\ Products : CH_3 COONa+ H_2O

2) Chemical reaction 

CH_3 COOH + NaHCO_3 \rightarrow CH_3COONa + H_2O + CO_2\\\\ reactants : - CH_{3 }COOH \; \; \; and \;\;\; NaHCO_3 \\\\ Products : CH_3 COONa+ H_2O+ CO_2

3) Chemical reaction 

2CH_3 COOH + Na_2CO_3 \rightarrow 2CH_3COONa+ CO_2 + H_2O \\\\ reactants : CH_{3 }COOH \; \; \; and \;\;\; Na_2CO_3 \\\\ Products : 2CH_3 COONa+ H_2O+ CO_2

Yes, sodium metal can be reached with acetic acid to form sodium ethanoate and hydrogen gas : 

2 Na+ 2CH COOH +\rightarrow H + 2 CHCOONa
