Is a 1 v 1V V 1 chord progression allowed in traditional classical chord progressions?
If that's a minor V moving to a IV chord, then no, it's not allowed. A minor V doesn't fit in anywhere in a major key, nor is V permitted to move directly to IV. To have a lowered 7th scale degree in the 2nd chord, leading to IV, try a V7/IV. It's a I chord with a minor 7th in it, working as a secondary dominant.

Why is the sixth and seventh degree's of a classical melodic minor scale brought back to normal pitch when descending?
The reason that the 6th and 7th scale degrees are raised when ascending is because raising the 7th scale degree causes it to become the leading tone, which is a tendency tone. The 6th scale degree is raised on the way up to avoid an augmented second. The reason those scale degrees are normal when descending is because the leading tone tends to resolve upward, which is not beneficial when descending, and since the 7th scale degree is not raised downward, the 6th scale degree does not need to be raised as it would when ascending. Another reason is so that the melodic minor scale does not sound like a major scale.
