I think everyone has common interests in one way or another. My best friend in college now leads a very different life. But, we still get a long great and can always manage to find something interesting to talk about.....even if its about nothing. We have great interpersonal chemistry.
Then there's people that I know that I have everything in common with but there's no chemistry. We just don't "hit" it off, so to speak. Finding great friends is tough. Some people are just lucky to walk into those kinds of relationships. For me, I had to put myself in very intense social environments in college to find those people that I click with.
If you're not in a club at college or taking a class on the side and arranging study sessions, it's going to be very hard. You need to get yourself out there. It won't happen any other way.

It's my opinion that most true friendships develop during childhood-adolescence, as you share with your friends experiences that will define you for the years to come.
In adulthood, it's more likely to develop close friendships with people that has similar ethics to yours (common interests lean toward environmental, political, theological, etc. topics).

Without a doubt. Having a common interest is a plus, but it's not the main requisite.

Friendships can exist without a common interest, but I think in those cases they're usually bound together by something less tangible, like having grown up together and looked out for each other. Common interest friendships are just the easiest to start and maintain, I think. They might fade if both people lose interest in what they originally talked about or did, but I doubt there's any hard feelings.
