can... only 1 point will trigger, aka manual flash... most hotshoe mounted flash have 2 same point, the middle big pin & the side metal, when both become close, they will fire, the rest of the smaller pins are for TTL, different companies will have different layout. even if layout the same, it may not trigger due to different circuit design.
Possible if it can be trigger with remote trigger with the IR or photocell. :dunno:
The one may work for all flash think is the Metz just need to remove/replace the shoe with a different type to match the brand of camera.
YMMV

yes, you can, but only work on Auto and Manual mode.
another thing is to beware of the trigger voltage of some old model flash units, it may fried you modern cameras.

some cameras like Minolta have reversed hotshoe that will not accept flash by another manufacture. If your camera has standard hotshoe like canon and nikon, then most likely can. Except find out what the trigger voltage of the flash is so as not to fry your sensitive digital camera.
