Yes, you can. The knight is the only piece that can "jump" over other pieces, whether they are your own or your opponent's. It can check an opposing king that is hidden behind other pieces because the knight cannot be "blocked" when it attacks.

Yes. No piece can block a knights path, and the only way to prevent a knight from moving to a square is pinning it to the king, as in: If moving the knight would allow a piece to capture the king, then it may not be moved until the threat is removed.

Knights are able to move in an 'L' shape direction, so yes, it is possible for them to jump over enemy's pieces.
