Welcome to WoW and Wowhead!
1. Is Priest easy to play ( I mean levelling ) ? I don't mind dying few times, because of lack of skill and game knowledge, but if I'll be constantly falling to the ground, I will just choose some class that has better survival abilities ( warrior/paladin ? ).
For any character you choose to play, you will really have a hard time judging them before about level 20. That is when class abilities start to open up and you really start to learn the play style of the character. In general though I would say leveling nowadays shouldn't be too difficult for any class.
2. Talents. I searched this website little bit, finding that Priest could be Holy/Discipline/Shadow specialized. Is choose of talent tree irreversible, or I am able to choose new specialization by time?
To change your talents, you may visit your trainer and pay a fee to have your points refunded and you can then re-place them. The fee you pay will increase the more times you have your talents reset. Blizzard has recently added the option also to change a setting in game that will allow you to place your talent points, and then hit a "Learn" button to verify that is the set up you wish to have. This is turned off though by default.
3. Raiding. I want to know ( yes I know dungeons are very long way from the level one ) what is the role of Priest in raid. I am supposed to heal others and only this?
I will not be able to answer this one too well, hopefully a raiding priest can reply with more information, but your role in raids will also depend on your spec. The role of a shadow priest will be very different from that of a holy priest.
I hope I have been of some help, happy hunting!

1. Priests actually have great damage mitigation (via
Inner Fire
) which is competitive with the "tougher" (Paladin/Warrior) classes until they reach L40 and get their plate armor upgrades, while Priests will be stuck with cloth the whole way up. Oddly enough, by that point it stops mattering if you're decent at your class. On the other hand, their offensive abilities are somewhat lackluster for the first 30 levels or so, and they definitely have a harder time killing mobs than other classes. The Dungeon Finder will help with this, and definitely check out the Energizer Smite spec in the Priest forums.
2. You can change them, but there's an increasing cost to resetting your spec (I believe it tops out at either 25 or 50g, don't remember) for each reset.
3. I disagree with the Disc spec being the "tank healer" spec - Disc healing is more about damage mitigation IMO, and can work as a raid healer. Their main tool is the shields that they put up on everybody, and they can use this to shut out predictable raidwide damage like nobody else. I've done both Holy and Disc, and I found Disc MUCH more flexible than Holy - healing the tank and tossing bubbles around at the same time which significantly reduced the workload on the other healers, especially with predictable raidwide burst damage being so common in current instances.
