Answer 1

Depends on the glad beast, some of them like that wierd bear thing is a normal monster so it cant be done. but yes you can special summon, although if your opponent attacks and you switch glads then he can choose weather or not to contenue with his attack.

Answer 2

No, The gladiator beasts are returned after damage calculation, so it would be destroyed by battle. FOr a gladiator beast to use its effect it needs to survive.
