Yes. Some SRAM rotors are slightly thicker, but it makes no material difference in stopping power or modulation.
If you feel like you want the bite point to be sooner, there are ways to “cheat” the pistons; but I would suggest just trying it first.

Not an issue. I’m running those XTR rotors with Force AXS calipers. Just make sure you bed them.

Yeah, I’ve ran them both on Shimano and SRAM calipers for awhile. Ultimately just didn’t like the feel, modulation, and power of them. They also have some thermal expansion from the aluminum sandwiched in between the steel, which I’ve had issues with on steep mountain descents.
I’ve now switched to Galfer for all my bikes.

You can absolutely.
Though, I have mostly seen it the other way around. A lot of Shimano riders I know went to the new Sram H2S rotors because appearently they are really dang good.
