Yes, you can.

No, it's not recommended yet. Unless you want to be a tester you should wait until the real release, which will happen in October.

Re: upgrading from an ISO... you could do it I think. You wouldn't boot off of it, like for a normal install. Instead you'd set your apt sources to check the CDROM, then put it into your drive and upgrade. In effect you're replacing a network download with a CDROM repository.
