It seems probable.

Space technology continues to improve, so it seems likely it will at least reach a point where transporting people to Mars in very small groups will at least become feasible, and there are plenty of people who would volunteer for it.

Yes, it's about a fourth of Earth's.

As long as there is a viable Earth to which to come back.

The answers aren't really knowable with certainty. There could turn out to be insurmountable problems of which we are not now aware, or our capability in space could degrade for various reasons rather than advance. But the best guess in my opinion is that eventually people will live on Mars.

The annoying thing about mars seems to me in the long run that the atmosphere is so thin. Now Venus, there's something you can work with!
It might be a lot easier to add atmosphere than subtract it. The atmosphere of Venus is super-dense.
However, it might be easier for microbial life to survive in the clouds of Venus than on the surface of Mars. Maybe a carbon-eating microbe that falls to the surface when it dies could get that inconvenient carbon surplus out of the atmosphere.
Exactly my crackpot proposal!
1. Turn venus' co2 into useful carbon microbially and reduce the greenhouse effect at the same time!
2. Profit!
