Answer 1

Answer 2

Sure, just make sure you get a wide enough scoop of dirt to limit root structure damage.

Dig wide and deep, like you are making the lid on a pumpkin.

Good luck buddy.

Answer 3

I would say temporarily as long as there's holes at the bottom for drainage, until you can get better plant pots.
