#1 yes but may hum a bit.
#2 The 10uf cap is the filter for the grid bias. True B- is at the center tap of the HV winding of the power transformer. Note there is the resistor tied from B- (the center tap) to the chassis ground. There is a small voltage developed across that resistor. The - side of the voltage is at the center tap and the + is at the chassis. It looks like the 10uf cap is in backwards but it isn't.
Hope this answers your question.
