I can answer your first question
The reason so many people rip Sega CD's using the ISO/MP3 system is because the files are MUCH smaller.
That means a faster download.
ISO/MP3s are great for people like me who are still on 56k modems, mainly because downloading/uploading a BIN/CUE could take days
A BIN/CUE rip is more "true-to-the-original-disc" than an ISO/MP3 rip.
That's the trade off.

the only real differece is in the sound...and youll only notice if its a bad rip...also some games will be out of sync(Snatcher) in iso mp3 format...(i havent actually had that problem)

1. See reasons stated above.
2. Yes, you can. However, when dealing with MP3's, be careful of variable bit-rate MP3's and perhaps non CD quality MP3's (e.g., 96 kbps bit-rate, 32 KHz sampling rate, etc.) as well. In those situations, convert the MP3 to WAV and then use some kind of audio editing tool to upsample the WAV to CD quality: 16 bit, stereo, 44.1 KHz.
Sega CD images should work. However, the same limitations/problems mentioned above apply to Sega CD too (e.g., audio sync problems like in Snatcher). Also, certain titles are best burned Track-At-Once (TAO) as opposed to Disc-At-Once (DAO).
