Yes. There are bootstrap standard css and js files included by default in their download and template, but you can still add your own custom css or js as well to work in conjunction.

Bootstrap is just a start point, a very useful start point but it is just that. In my opinion Bootstrap with font awesome lets you concentrate more on your design and less on the construction work. You become more of the architect and less of a labourer.

Yes, you can modify the css or js files however you'd like or take bits from it to use in other projects. You can also customize it to suit your needs before you download it.

To build a website using only css takes alot of work to make your site a responisive site. On the other hand bootstrap and foundations can make your site a clean responisive site across all platforms. I highly recommend using at least one of these.
