Senators are allowed to speak for or against a bill and a vote can not be taken until the everyone has had a reasonable opportunity to speak. However, there is a tactic known as the filibuster in which a senator or a group of Senators speak for no purpose except to delay a vote on the bill. The Senate can vote to end debate but this action currently required a 60% majority , so unless 60% of the senators want to end debate and get a vote, the debate can go on until the bill is withdrawn without a vote and the bill dies .

The filibuster is based on the rules of the United States Senate, but it is not mentioned in the Constitution, which says only that the Senate gets to make its own rules and procedures. whatever is part of the rules would be considered to be legitimate by most people, although not necessarily sacrosanct. Traditionally, there was no limitation on debate in the Senate, but restrictions were gradually added, allowing first 2/3 and now 60% of the Senate to vote to end debate and vote on the measure at hand. In 2013, the Senate changed the rules to end filibusters on the nominations of federal judges (except Supreme Court justices) and executive-branch positions.
Yes, a simple majority is enough to pass an ordinary bill.

In order to cut off debate and force a vote, a 3/5 vote is required by Senate rules.
