T.
domestica is in the family Agelenidae. It is also widespread.
The web and habitat are typical as well.

No.
This is not a wolf spider, but probably one of the hacklemesh weavers (family Amaurobiidae) or funnelweb weavers (family Agelenidae). I can't tell for certain from this image alone. Any chance you can get more detailed images, especially of the eye arrangement? This is not a dangerous spider, by the way.
