Does pricing and creating General insurance products involve using complex stochastic models?, can actuaries work on pricing insurance derivatives? Do actuaries calculate and predict volatility like quants working at hedge funds?

YES for first question . I dont know how do you define complex stochastic models. But actuaries in general insurance definately use stochastic models in pricing. In India GLM techniques are most commonly used to pricing products ( motor and retail) and other techniques are also used.
I am sorry but i dont know much detail about pricing derivatives and Hedge funds.
