You'd have to use an app like WhatsApp or Facebook messenger as iMessage is only available on Apple devices.

Yes, you can. But not iMessage. It would be SMS. But it's done the same way. She would receive it as SMS.

No, you don't have to use a 3rd party app.

You cannot use SMS from an iPod as it is not a phone. You would have to use iMessage or a 3rd party app.

As mentioned u need a third party app. Text free & whats app are good. Even hangouts.
