Different packs have different rules so the best answer is to check with your pack. As far as the car body, wheels and axles most packs only allow what is in the box to be used. Most of the priemium axles and wheels you see on sale are not allowed. A point of contention is that the BSA sells someof these items. Often the parts are not allowed by the pack despite that fact that they are sold by the BSA under the BSA logo.
I did a search on the Holly Lobby site and only saw stickers and similar "embellishements". Generally that kind of thing used to just decorate the car is allowed. Precarved and plastic bodies etc that are sold at some other hobby shops are not.
Again, if in doubt, as your pack.

Absolutely.
If you are referring to the stop section on a Pinewood Derby track, the average length is about 4 feet; however, if you are good at making fast Pinewood Derby cars, it will take nearly double this length to safely stop your car. Because of this most Pinewood Derby races place a pillow or a jacket at the end of the stop section to abruptly stop those cars that over shoot the stop sections.
