Yeah of course. Just install your starnut into your bars like normal. You might need a washer under the fork, which might cause the head of the bolt to hit your wheel. But if you grind it down you'll be okay.

Meh, i don't like threaded forks(my threaded compression SUUUCKS), i just ordered some unthreaded but i'm sure using both would be quite interesting (it could probably actually be effective).

You can, and if you want to use a threadless headset, just use the locknut to compress the pinch ring. No compression needed.
