Yes, but the card issuing bank would charge you over limit fee and other additional fees if you exceed your credit limit
When you charge more than your current credit limit
Because the credit card industry is a big business, most of their money is made off of credit card fees. Any given credit card will allow a customer to go over the limit just to ensure that a 'over the limit' fee is charged. This 'over the limit' can lead to a higher annual percentage rate and late fees. If you are any where near your limit, refrain from any new charges that could put you over the limit. Include any 'blocked' amounts in the balance.
Yes - so long as you don't go over your own limit.

It does nothing to erase bad debt, collections accounts or judgments, which must be addressed individually. A pre-paid card would show the spending limit and the activity on the card and whether the limit used up each month.
