Yes, but they search your bag.
Yeah. But they will check it. No drinks or containers of any sort.
I brought my Kavu pack/purse. I had to open it up and they looked inside the pockets.
They do. They ask that you empty your pockets, then pat you down. I particularly enjoy making it weird for them ;)
Yes you can. They do a basic search like pat you down.
