Yeah you can. It's better to use the plastic blockers that come on the rope, But it won't hurt your rope to use wire blocks.

Yes, but a knot that is present inline in a taut rope weakens the rope. No rope or line should be used with a knot in it for this reason.

The term comes from the way people measured the speed that the boat was traveling at. They would have a slender rope with knots on at regular intervals, and something to create drag at the end. Then they'd throw the rope overboard and count the number of knots that were pulled out in a certain amount of time.
yes * Added - A rope is weakened by any knot, with the "worst" knots taking away as much as 60% of the ropes strength. This is why sailors and professionals learn a wide variety of knots, hitches, and bends to use the best one for the job.
Knots is the form of measurement of the speed of boats. It was originally measured by a board being dropped in the water with a rope tied to it, the other end of the rope was tied to the stern of the boat. This rope had knots tied into it at 14.4 meters apart. The one sailor would use a 30 second glass sand timer while another would let the rope out behind the boat. When 30 seconds were up the number of knots on the rope that had gone thru the sailors hands were the speed they were traveling. Dividing that 14.4 meters by 30 seconds told them that one knot equaled 1.85166 kilometers per hour, or one nautical mile.
