A dog crate as I understand it is for transportation and the the kennel is for housing/protection
Your puppy claws at the gate of his kennel because he wants to get out and probably see you. To avoid this give your dog chew toys while it is in the crate. You can also give your dog regular toys that are not easily destructible so the dog does not start to get bored while it is in its crate.

The dog will start the think of the crate as is bedroom, and it won't want to go to the bathroom in its bedroom.

Dogs do not want to lay in their own feces, so a small crate would help to curb this habit.

Yes you can and you often have to if you are using a crate to house train a young puppy. Some crates come with a divider panel that you can place where ever you need it in the crate depending on the size of your dog. If yours does not have a panel you could use a piece of plywood cut to fit inside. Sometimes if the space is much bigger than the dog they will still eliminate in the crate. Dividing it and making the space smaller usually corrects this.
