Cloudflare is a good way to mitigate those attacks. They have a pipe much bigger than what most attackers can get together.

You don't stand a chance against a DDoS and you have to work with your upstream ISP to mitigate some of it. They might not have the tools to help you though.

You do. Plenty of hosting companies provide layer 3 and layer 4 DDoS protection and layer 7 is best handled in your software anyway to avoid false positives.
