Yes, traditional square dogs sit in mortises usually cut during construction, though an existing bench can be retrofitted.
The mortise is angled slightly toward the vise so that clamped work is pulled down tight against the benchtop as you tighten the vise.
It's possible but involved, since the angled mortise is easier to cut during construction; round bench dogs are a simpler retrofit option.
Yes, but that's by design. The brass faces are there to protect steel edge tools from damage rather than the other way around.
