Yes to all, but that Brompton clone shown above, appears to have thru axles front and rear, either that, or not but with some nuts on both end that sleeve over each end of the axle where it interfaces with the dropouts. Not sure. They don't appear to protrude enough to the outside to be normal nuts, and there's no slots at the dropouts.
