Of course you can.
You'll leave a bit of lead fouling on the rifling, and your pattern will be really open, since there's no choke, but yes.
"Camo" is perfectly acceptable as a favorite colour.

Yes you can, but it will not pattern very well. You might try patterning it on a board to see if it will pattern well enough to hit a grouse.
