Yes, but one of the main advantages of tubeless is that you can run low pressure, and IMO that's when they function best. Given your experience, I'd avoid the upper limits.

Depends on well-sealed your tire is. Check it daily until you know how quickly it loses pressure, and by how much. Use a digital gauge, if you can.

Evidently so. I would have inquired about rebuilding it, but I assume the LBS evaluated that.
