You can do that, but there are some things you need to be aware of:

1. When you upload a new folder, if you want it to be visible in the menu, it needs to be numbered ... For example "3.foldername".

2. You need to create an empty file "page.json" inside new folders. This is where the page settings are stored, and if the file does not exists, then the page will not be generated.

3. What about page TITLE and DESCRIPTION (and possibly other page-settings). Unless you edit these settings from the panel, your folder will use DEFAULT title and description, from your settings. I don't see how you would want to create new pages without at least assigning a unique title in the page settings (stored in page.json).

Yes.

You should make sure to add images appropriately sized though, because you are not using the X3 upload-resized.
