Can you run apps from an external hard drive or do they have to run in the computer's internal memory by default? null

Yes, you can run applications for an external HD, however I would recommend a SSD and not a regular HD. You will notice the SSD is way more faster and mirrors a typical SSD that comes installed in your computer. The regular external HD would run the application slower.
