yes, success can be a factor for happiness.
state of mind being a willful act does not mean we can choose a state of mind. To choose means you pick and have, where as to wish/strive does not guaranty that you will have the thing you wished for.

yes, above example is of satisfaction but satisfaction is not the same as happiness.

If a student get the admission in university he wished for he will be happy, if he could get admission in any university of his respective field he will be satisfied. However, if could not get in any he will be unhappy.

One can choose to be happy. That is an example of active state of mind.

Agree with Psyah…Reduce the need, get happy.

Yes, satisfaction does not necessarily means being happy.

Satisfaction is just a middle state between being unhappy to being happy.

Going back to three questions asked by OP, all questions can be answered in affirmative.

P.S. Irrational happiness is just as bad as irrational sadness.
