Yes. In fact, that's what it should be doing already. Isn't it?

You can do that. I keep a similar mirror of the packages I use on one
of my systems (ie, 'apt-move sync' -- I don't want a full mirror.. the
200M or so I have of debs is plenty) and propogate that to the others
via NFS. Works great and means a lot less time and bandwidth wasted
downloading.

That's correct.

No, it just doesn't need them.
