Yes it is

Yes, with 80% chance of inheritance when both parents are high blood pressure. 25-40% if 1 has it

Unfortunately, yes. HBP can be a genetic predisposition. That is why it is asked for in a family history workup.

High blood pressure often runs in family. Much of what we know about high blood pressure had come from genetic studies. Many genes are linked to small increases in high blood pressure risk.

I heard that high blood pressure is also inherited.

L'ipertensione arteriosa può essere generata dall'effetto combinato di fattori genetici ereditari (figli di ipertesi hanno maggiore probabilità di sviluppare l'ipertensione rispetto ai figli dei normotesi) e di fattori ambientali, come lo stress, l'eccessiva introduzione di sale e l'obesità.

Depends. Is it a genetic condition or is it habitual?
