In short, yes (for all your questions) if you read and write at Quorum you have consistency behavior for your operations. Even though some nodes
may have an inconsistent view of the data, e.g. one node is partitioned by a broken network or is overloaded and does not respond.

Why is Cassandra called eventually consistent data store? Wouldn't it be
consistent if QUORAM is used?
Another question is when I specify replication factor of 3 and write with
factor of 2 and read with factor of 2 then what happens?
1. When write occurs cassandra will return to the client only when the
writes go to commit log on 2 nodes successfully?
2. When read happens cassandra will return only when it is able to read from
2 nodes and determine that it has consistent copy?
