Yes, so long as her feet are touching the court before she catches the ball.

Yes. It's a sneaky move for a GS, when the 2 defenders are covering GA and she pulls them far enough sideways the GS can then goal off the post. Like above just make sure GS plants her feet on court before catching ball off post.
