There are Amazon apps that enable certain streaming from external devices. It is possible, but you'll have to determine if there is an Amazon app that is compatible with your external device.

Yes, but not with the default software. There's several solutions for this on the Amazon App Store. Plex is a popular one.

The fan-favorite is Kodi, which can only be side-loaded See http://kodi.tv/
