Yes. 'search:xxx' is a term like 'tag:xxx' etc. They can be parenthesized, 'not' ed, and combined together. For example assume that I have a named search 'MyFavoriteGenres' that searches for a set of tags. The following expression would find books I have read in genres other than the favorites:
tag:=read and not search:MyFavoriteGenres

If this was allowed I would expect that if search1 was changed then this would also affect every search that had this one embedded.
Yes, if you change the contents of a named search, all searches that use it will change.

I haven't yet implemented the ability to change the name of a search. When I do, I will (almost certainly) implement the suggestion that changing the name of a search should also (optionally) change all searches that used the old name.
