To test for a tight fit with a gas mask, put on the mask and cover the intake valves with your hands.

Depends. Most catchers who wear a hockey style mask do not remove it to catch a pop-up. If you use an old-school mask, you wait to throw the mask until you have an idea as to the direction the pop-up is heading. You don't throw the mask right away since you do not want to end up tripping on the mask if you have to backtrack.
