finished is a verb in the past tense
The sentence is correct. Have finished indicates that the action was done often, so it is progressive past, unlike the simple past in stories, never done again.

Yes, this sentence is correct. People often leave off the 'ed' but this is the correct way to phrase the sentence.

"Are you finished working?" is an informal way of asking "Have you finished (working)?" (For the correct form of asking this, you would refer to the present perfect tense.)
