1. See reasons stated above.
2. Yes, you can. However, when dealing with MP3's, be careful of variable bit-rate MP3's and perhaps non CD quality MP3's (e.g., 96 kbps bit-rate, 32 KHz sampling rate, etc.) as well. In those situations, convert the MP3 to WAV and then use some kind of audio editing tool to upsample the WAV to CD quality: 16 bit, stereo, 44.1 KHz.
Sega CD images should work. However, the same limitations/problems mentioned above apply to Sega CD too (e.g., audio sync problems like in Snatcher). Also, certain titles are best burned Track-At-Once (TAO) as opposed to Disc-At-Once (DAO).

Point #2, if possible get the original CD, or the original WAV file. convert to MP3. this assures best quality (converting MP3->WAV -> upsampling WAV -> Re-encoding to MP3 will lose some quality)
CDRW will not work on Sega CD. the laser isn't powerful enough to read them. If you pumped the laser full of power, possibly, but not worth the damage it may cause.
CDRW for other computers, sure, nothing wrong with that (as long as they can read CD-RW)
