No.

Probably, should be no trouble at all.

Sure, no problem.

>4.) What EXACTLY is it useful for...?
It's like a poor man's version of X. It multiplexes several tty sessions over
a single serial line. It's good for editing many files in many windows, using
vi on a host that doesn't have emacs. It's useful any time you want full
terminal access to multiple applications simultaneously.
