Absolutely, PS4 controllers are compatible with the PS5, but they can't be used to play PS5-specific games. It's a sneaky way to make sure you buy their new hardware, isn't it?
Yes, but only for PS4 games on the PS5. For PS5 games, you gotta use the DualSense. Source: personal experience with both controllers.
Short answer: yes, but not for PS5 games. Stick to DualSense for those.
