yes. it is an indirect free kick from inside the box. this means that the kick taker can not score directly, someone else must touch it first. The defenders are allowed to stand either behind the goal line or behind the touch line as the kick is being prepared. i hope this answerers your question

No. A back pass made by a teammate who kicks the ball back cannot be played with the hands by a goalkeeper, even if he is within his own penalty area, without violating the Laws of the Game. This rule represents a "recent" change in the FIFA Laws of the Game. It's an attempt to "enhance" the game and the way it is played. It removes a small advantage the defensive team had, as it takes an option from the keeper, forcing him to play the ball with his feet on a back pass from a teammate. Additionally, no attempt may be made by the defenders to deliberately circumvent this rule. For instance, if a defender lifts the ball with his foot and heads it back to his keeper (who is in his own penalty area), the keeper is prevented from fairly playing the ball with his hands under the penalty of an award of an indirect free kick (to the keeper's opponents) from the point where he touches the ball following said action. The move by the defender to lift the ball up so he could play it back with his head is a deliberate effort to "get around" the rule.
No, the goalie is not allowed to touch the ball in their hands if the last person to kick the ball is their teamate.
