Yes, but it must be held in place by an additional fastener that requires other than a pull to release the device from the mounting means on the panel.

Yes, Unless the breaker is marked "LOAD" at the screw terminals, in which case you can not back feed it.

Only if it is a plug-in circuit breaker, not required for a bolt-on, but plug-in type is more common.
