By definition, a lateral is a pass that is thrown sideways to or behind the passer and is legal anywhere on the field, behind the line of scrimmage or beyond the line of scrimmage.

No. You cannot kick the ball to a teammate either way really.

As long as you're making a legal block above the waist, and you're not committing interference, you can block anywhere on the field.
