1 & 2 -> Yes.
Rule 32(5) restricts Input Tax Credit availment only on the purchase of second-hand goods, which are further sold under margin scheme. Hence, Input tax credit can be availed on all business expenses like rent, advertisement, commission, professional expenses, etc. (other than purchases of second-hand goods) subject to the basic conditions of Input Tax Credit availment specified in Section 16 to 21 and Rules 36 to 45.
