If you're going to write that sentence somewhre formal, it probably should be, "In the movie, "To Kill a Mocking Bird", (etc.)" Otherwise, it doesn't matter much. People will still know what you're saying.

You can use quotation marks, or you can italicise. It doesn't matter, as long as you make it clear what the full title of the movie or book is.

They're all correct but the trend nowadays is toward 1, perhaps because the meaning is clear without additional punctuation.

I'd go with 2, using commas to set off the name of the movie.

Quotation marks are enough.

Definitely quotation-marks

You can easily look this up yourself in guides like the Chicago Manual of Style.

For movies, you italicize. Before the word processor was invented, it was underlined.
