“Can the usb-c ports be used to charge the computer from an usb charger such as my car's or an external battery?”

• Only the back USB-C port is used for charging, and as long as you have 5vdc you are OK. You will in no way charge as quickly as from the supplied HP charger, but it will charge as long as your car is on. Some newer 2014 plus vehicles have off charing, but I would not leave my laptop plugged in if away from the car for any serious amount of time. Since your laptop will not jump your cars battery.

• I believe HP makes you use OEM chargers. So, no. Shame on HP for this.

• No. the USB-C delivers power out; is not designed to deliver power to the system. Dell sells an external ac adapter that connects to cigarette lighters, etc.
