As long as you support at least one of the VoIP protocols that Asterisk
supports, yes.

Yes. I would say that we support it to 85%, there are still work to do.
It will work for basic calls between a SIP phone connected to Asterisk
and Asterisk.

No. Asterisk is a SIP location server (a registrar) but *not* a SIP
proxy. We do answer calls and start calls - Asterisk is a SIP user
agent. We do not forward SIP messages untouched between SIP devices,
like a SIP proxy. Basically we're a multiprotocol PBX.

There's a lot of information on Asterisk and SIP out there. My blog
contains some information, as well as www.voip-info.org

My blog is at www.voip-forum.com
