Yes. Current best practice is to use pass phrases. They can get long. Also, salt length is added to the password length as well, depending on implementation.
Imagine getting a multi byte character at the right position to get it split so that one byte gets in and the other doesn't.
It doesn't matter. That will happen for both the stored hash and the entered password, so it still matches.
As long as it runs the same code, yes. But things may change, clients may pre-emptively split the string or stuff like that.
