Just keep it cleaned and it will work just fine with them the Wolf brand ammo is good
Steel cased will work Anthony. Stick with the "Zinc" or "Poly Coated" ammunition and not the "Lacquer Coated" that can cause issues with extraction. Details here - " a very good read on Ruger's recommendation on the issue with lacquer coated rounds'" : (americanrifleman.org/articles/2014/6/25/steel-cased-762x39-mm-in-ruger-mini-thirtys/)

Yes. The Mini 30 will handle it just fine. It has very robust ejection so it's not a problem.
