No, a majority of votes is definitely still needed to pass any proposals. If a single party gets over 50% it just means they don't have to make deals with any other party and can pass any legislature they want (assuming their own delegates are faithful).
Yep, point is, as long as a majority agrees on anything that thing can be done with ease. This is how one question parties can get any influence at all, which wouldn't be possible in a two party system.
Yes, judging by the sheer amount of fringe parties that have come and gone just over the past 20 years, it certainly is a lot easier for minority parties to get elected in Germany, though that doesn't necessarily mean they'll survive long term.
