No, it doesn't. You can try it. AFAICT, you need an actual Japanese credit card to create the account.

Yes. There is only one iTunes program. There is no Japanese iTunes and no U.S. iTunes. There is a Japanese iTunes Music Store and a U.S. iTunes Music Store. But those are just 2 different Store portals, accessed through the same iTunes program. The tracks will still play, independent of which portal they were purchased from.

Yes, that is correct. But it will play fine, as long as you authorize your computer for that specific e-mail address (aka Apple ID, i.e. the Apple ID you created specifically for the Japanese iTunes Music Store, distinct from any other Apple ID's you might have for other countries' iTunes Music Stores).
