Yes. of course. Why wouldn't they be? I just received 1000 rounds of 357 hollowpoint slugs for reloading for my Colt Trooper III.
Yes, as long as you are not purchasing it for an unlawful purpose. You can purchase gunpowder for reloading ammunition, and that's legal, but you cannot purchase gunpowder with the intent of constructing a bomb or explosive device.

That will depend on the law where you live- and you did not tell us that. You also did not say whether the bullet in question was for hunting, self defense, or target shooting. The State of New Jersey has limits on carrying hollowpoint pistol ammunition, and some states may restrict armor piercing ammunition. Several states require hunting ammunition to be an expanding type of bullet to provide for quick, humane kills of animals. US Federal law places restrictions on making or importing certain pistol ammunition that is armor piercing.
None. Weapons and ammunition are illegal in Mexico.
