Because votes could be sold. E.g.: “Show me your receipt to prove how you’ve voted for, and we’ll give you $50”

In the US, it depends on the state. Many states have policies or laws about taking pictures in the voting booth. There's quite a few articles about this from the 2018 election.

Absolutely and it happens, but not that regularly.

Polling places are extremely busy and people pull out their phones all the time. All you have to do is record you voting and you have the proof.
