they should-plant and cover with mulch or pine straw (you will have to cut them down)
Only certain mums I have noticed the ones with pointed leaves lots of points
Depending upon the variety, yes. I have purchased dollar store mums that pop back up every spring and bloom consistently through fall with regular deadheading.
Yes. Pinch them back in July, early summer, and they'll get bigger and better each year. Cut back after before winter starts or early spring. I plant daffodils with them and they cover the dull daffodil greenery after they bloom.
It depends on what type of mum & which zone you live in. Most garden mums are hardy in zones 5 - 9 , but florist mums do not survive the winter anywhere.
