If using IMAP then yes.  If using POP3 then no.

This depends on your IMAP server, not on IMP.  You need to learn how your
IMAP server works.

You can set up a sent-mail folder no problem.  Whether it is one level deeper
or not shouldn't matter, and is up to you and/or your IMAP server.

How to set up the sent-mail folder depends on which versions of IMP you run.

Yes, in fact I (and a lot of people) do just that.

"TAD (Technology Attachment Disorder) is an unshakable, impractical devotion
to a brand, platform, product line, or programming language. It's relatively
harmless among the rank and file, but when management is afflicted the damage
can be measured in dollars. It's also contagious -- someone with sufficient
political clout can infect an entire organization."
