Yes, reality is the physical world. Physical means (literally) real; as opposed to an abstract concept. "Nonphysical existence" is a contradiction in terms, as far as I can see.

Yes, philosophy alone deals only with the abstract. As soon as you take any measurements from reality, you're doing science as well.

"Science" is not part of reality, it's a method. So yes, science is regulated by philosophy; it requires underpinning principles. It is like the adapter between philosophy and reality.
