Answer 2

Yes. You may want to look at this CSS browser compatibility table (search for "overflow" in the page).

Edit: As stated in the chart,

IE 5/6 doesn’t implement overflow: visible correctly.

Newer versions do.

Answer 3

Internet explore has problems with overflow:hidden; when the element has percentage dimensions. To fix this you need to also put a position:relative; on the element for it to work.
