Answer 1

You can, but I wouldn't.

It's currently possible , but:

Skype for Business channel in Bot Framework is being deprecated on June 30, 2019.

No new bots will be able to add Skype for Business channel after that date. Existing bots will continue to work until October 31, 2019. Microsoft Teams is the preferred communication tool from Microsoft. Learn how to connect your bot to Microsoft Teams.

There is no other way to use Bot Framework with Skype for Business.
