Yes. pg_dump and pg_restore are what you need.

Look for pgAdmin II to help do this:

It depends what functionality you see Access as providing. You can use
Access itself, with ODBC, and there are many other tools that provide
bits and pieces of Access's functionality.

Again, pgAdmin should be able to help. There are good Oracle tools for
converting data as well. Not sure of the MS SQL ones.
