Yes. But I recommend getting one offer to practice negotiating.

I doubt there will give you the range. More often they will ask your expectation and they’ll say if it’s in the range or not.

Yes it is perfectly okay. I always ask what the budget is for the position. It saves everyone time and I think they appreciate it in the long run.
