That is not supported way to install applications.

Download apps from here: http://maemo.org/downloads

Yes, but it is not recommended and installation may be difficult.

You can, but you'll probably run into dependency issues - the app requires certain libraries installed, so you then have to download those, and they require other libraries, and so on. Using the App Manager, all of that is taken care of in the background.
