Answer 1

Yep.  The taxi drivers in Thailand use it exclusively.

Your problem is going to be finding the fuel at high enough pressure to fill your tank.  You can't just fill up at home without a special pump.  These special pumps cost about $2000.00

Answer 2

Kind of think there might be a couple of problems

.

Having a gas the kind that you can fill a balloon up with is on the last list of fuels that we should have in an automobile or motorcycle or three wheeler

The risk of fire is on the extreme side even a small leak can cause the driver to become burnt toast

Answer 3

sure.  They have some bottles that are easily changed out of CNG.  These bottles are used on sailboats.
