Yes.
Also see my
Post #11 in "Real Page Numbers for Reflowable Kindles", where I lay out differences between EPUB2 (page-map or pageList) + EPUB3 (page-list).
If what you're saying is true, I'm not completely sure the apps would recognize an EPUB3 accidentally using an EPUB2 method (pageList). Can't say I ever tested it though.

Yes. ADE (Windows/Mac/Linux), and Gitden Reader + PocketBook (Android) are excellent programs to use, and support and follow lots of the EPUB standards.*
Note on page-list specifically: I haven't messed with page numbers in a long time, but AZARDI (Windows) and iBooks (Mac/iOS) definitely support EPUB3 page numbers (I believe they show up as little numbered bubbles).
I also just tested in ADE 4.5, and the page-List is displayed below the TOC:

Yes, you'd most likely have to finagle some of the code to use the EPUB3 method of page numbers.
Doitsu's "PageList" plugin for Sigil should help.
You'd have to use regex to adjust your EPUB2 code:
into EPUB3:
Code:
<span epub:type="pagebreak" id="page112" title="123"></span>
or:
Code:
<span epub:type="pagebreak" id="page123">123</span>
and then run the plugin, and it will add the pages to your <nav epub:type="page-list">.
If you need an example EPUB3 with a working page-list, see
Doitsu's EPUB3 of "Gibran, Kahlil: The Madman".
