You have that (at best) backwards. <xsl:apply-templates/> just matches
on children (not the current node, and not attributes).
<xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|text()"/>
matches on child elements and text nodes, but not comments or pi's and
also matches on attributes.

No.

Yes you can, why would you think not?

That is immediate from the structure of XML. the xsl:template
element opens before xsl:attribute. there's nothing wrong with
<xsl:template match="@href">
<xsl:attribute name="href">

You meant "@href" not "href". It does make a difference: it affects the
default priority, but it doesn't affect the nodes matched.
