nope. I never used an external usb stick, but I always booted from SD card.

yes, so one can install on it.

I had 3.2 from wheezy running on the efika, but now wiped it, as I didnt get 
any graphical output to work. As said, I believe pata_imx and libata is enough 
to access it, but if you prefer, I could reinstall the box with a pure wheezy 
kernel and check again...
