Can we use it for animal?
An animal is referred as “it” unless the relationship is personal (like a pet that has a name). Then it’s OK to use “he” or “she” when referring to the animal. Even if the animals don’t have specific names, they are given personalities and this is enough to make them personal.

It is not generally considered appropriate for humans. We use he, she, etc. It implies that the human in question is an object, or has no gender (which is generally considered offensive). As far as animals go, it and its are fine.
Can we use that with non living things?
The word “who” only refers to living beings. For non-living beings, “which” is used instead. The word “who’s” is the contraction of either “who is” or “who has”, but either way, “who’s first letter originates on the top row” is incorrect because it contains two verbs.
