Quirrell didn't teach them the Curse; he told them about it.

Just because it didn't work when Lockhart did it doesn't mean it isn't
a spell.  It may not have been the correct spell or, more likely,
Lockhart was talented enough to perform it correctly.

If this is real, why doesn't Dumbledore cure Lupin?

To answer #3 first, while it may be true that Crouch, Jr. hated the
Imperius Curse because he lived under it for so long, there is really
only one reason why he would teach students to resist it:  he did so
because Dumbledore told him to and to disobey would've blown his cover.
 So that answers #2 as well.
