Technically, it uses both, because tortoises move inside their shell, using mimicry to imitate a rock. It uses camouflage because when it mimics a rock, its shell is sometimes the distinct color of the rock, or the environment it is hiding in.

Turtles can use camouflage by its color. Most turtles are green. So, if green turtles are in a meadow, or a garden, it will be camouflaged because of its surrounding. A bird that is looking for a meal won't eat the camouflaged turtle because the bird won't be able to see the turtle well because the turtle is camouflaged.

Yes, turtles can adapt to mimicry. An example of mimicry is simply camouflaging ones self, which is something a turtle typically does naturally.
