Yes you can bet on tennis etc. In shops. You'll only be asked for ID if they think you are under 18. the odds may be different in shop than online for some sports. For example all of the football odds are done the week before and printed on to coupons. Sometimes they won't change in the shop but will change online.
They do have maximum limits for certain bets in shops though, so if you're looking to bet large amounts then you may have to visit multiple shops.

No problem with that. Tennis odds are unlikely outside of the grand slams outrights maybe to be on a general display screen, but you can find them yourself at the terminals or ask the cashier to look them up. Paddy Power odds are rarely different in the shop to online with more variation at Lads & Hills.

All odds will be in fractional format.

You can ask the staff for odds on any of the markets offered online and they just take the online odds if there aren't coupons for the event you want I've found. I've also noticed before that for big football matches which have separate coupons with correct score and scorer markets you can fill the coupon out and get the odds offered on that even though the cashiers screen odds are lower because it's been cut online. Doesn't always work but worth checking. William hill are known to not cut their premier league match odds even if it's become a big arb. They will limit stakes however to maybe £50-100 unless you choose to take more at reduced odds. Isn't a Paddy power within 100 miles of my house so can't comment in that wish they'd open one up near me.

Sometimes they coupon odds will be accepted, and sometimes they won't. If they aren't you can get the bet voided. Not that the OP will be affected since I can't recall there ever being tennis coupons.
