Hi

The answers are

1 - no
2 - The candy cleats are two bolted affairs - they screw into the two little slots in the middle sole. I'm pretty certain your shoes have these- please check.
3 - Personally I find the feel a little less positive and less powerful if you get what I mean. You are working through a smaller medium and you might also find that you develop hot spots - some people do some don't.

The main difference between the types are, the mountain bike pedals are designed with offroad riding in mind e.g. mud clearance, this will have disadvantages as stated in the post above.
The road pedals have a bigger platform therefore will allow a greater power transfer to the pedals.
There are lots of variables depending on style of riding, shoes used and where you are riding etc.
