Yes, but only a small set of commands are available in this stage for
debugging purposes rather to "rsync" the uninstalled system :-)

Install guide is the first to read because there could have been changes
from a release to another.

No, that's also possible.

Yup, but then you may find useful this other doc just in case you're
missing something else:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/amd64/apds03.html.en
Anyway, if you are working from the installer your scope will be very
limited. I would install a small bare system and then replicate/clone to
another disk/system by means of rsync or clonezilla-alike tools.
